Urban and Regional Planning, Urban Planning Legislation, Master Plan, Urbanization of Florianópolis The master plans in Florianópolis were the object of the research, whose general objective was to analyze the evolution in the process of fomulation and spatialization of the intentions of these, whose results are presented in the present work. Therefore, the study proposed here required a theoretical framework and method that made possible the understanding of the multiple determinations and geographic combinations responsible for urban and regional planning, evolution of urban planning legislation and the urbanization process in Santa Catarina Island. In this way, socio-spatial formation was used as a category of analysis. This is a brief study of Florianópolis five master plans, approved by municipal laws in 1955, 1976, 1985, 1997 and 2014, establishing a relationship with the design of development, especially tourism, for the city.

Cities, Urbanization, Metropolises, Lisbon
The urban phenomenon is a wide concept that includes both a social and cultural dimension associated with a set of principles, organizational forms and relations between individuals within a society and a spatial dimension related with the expansion of the cities.
In Portugal, it is widely recognized that the Twentieth Century was marked by the urbanization. The territory of Lisbon is nowadays acknowledged as a metropolitan area. This is the manifest translation of the territorial transformations that were produced there: at the beginning of the Twentieth Century and until the beginning of the seventies, only two settlements were administratively recognized as cities; nowadays, there are seventeen.
The term “city” is introduced inside the urban phenomenon as an element of differentiation - here, “city” represents the administrative status of the settlements. According to this logic, it is acknowledged that the urban area is an extensive surface; within this extensive urban area, there are different kinds of settlements, which vary both in terms of spatial scale and human dimension. Then, the research question is to know to what extent are the settlements classified as “cities” representative of the urban phenomenon?
The methodology employed to answer this main question is supported on the Census 2011 geodatabase. It is used a set of statistical processing and aerial image interpretation methods to obtain disaggregated statistical data and cartography. First, the aim is to categorize the urbanized territory at the metropolitan scale (urban or rural areas) and, within the urbanized territory, to detach the urban areas that make part of settlements recognized as “cities”. For example, in the sub-system of “cities”, live 56% of the metropolitan population. It is significant, but it is almost as significant as the number of persons living in territories that are not classified as “cities” (1.218.514 individuals).

Obsolete Territory, Urban Ruination, Regeneration, Transformation
In much of the traditional urban literature, abandoned spaces are considered anomalies in urban evolution and the “cure” against this would be its regeneration, even if this means a replacement of structures by demolishing the old ones. However, the current urban scenario allows us to understand these spaces under a new perspective, where the obsolescence and ruining of spaces are part of the contemporary urban landscape and to recognize them as such is necessary to take advantage of obsolete aspects as a tool for the construction of new city possibilities.
This abstract refers to a part of a PhD research, which is still ongoing, that aims to analyze the urban transformations by reading obsolete buildings in the city of Lisbon. In the old eastern part of the city it is possible to identify large areas that had their obsolete territory transformed through projects and urban interventions. They are transformations in distinct historical periods that consolidate a critical position that the way we interact in the city is the way we understand the city and this is a constantly evolving process.
The purpose of reading these areas is to understand the process of ruining and the possible answers to the increasingly rapid and constant obsolescence of the urban landscape. The Radicalised Obsolescence thesis (Brito-Henriques, 2017) was used to approach the obsolete not as an empty and unnecessary space, but as places of counterpoint to the excess society, which preserve a spontaneous and necessary memory for the city (Solà-Morales , 2002). From this understanding it is possible to establish a new approach that seeks to take advantage of the potential of the obsolete as an area of freedom that can be a complementary alternative to the traditional urban design.
