This article analyses the structure of heritage conservation in the national context of Portugal. It assesses the political context in which planning operates, and the place of conservation and heritage planning within the planning system. By exploring how heritage conservation discourses developed within the national planning framework it is possible to understand the emergence of conservation practices and to consider recommendations for improved efficiency. The World Heritage cities in Portugal inform this research, as its designation should stand for best historic practices, internationally recognized and thus also compliant to an internationally coherent approach towards conservation policies. The narrative unveils a regulatory legislative framework exposed in general considerations rhetorically formulated as policy, usually setting out objectives and requirements, but saying ‘very little about the methodologies to be followed in the preparation of the plans’ (Rosa Pires 2001, p. 185). The resulting overlapping and sometimes conflicting competences, aims and objectives, all at play in the management of the historic city, thus call for concerted strategies underpinned by appropriate organizational and institutional structures and consistent policy making, where inclusive participation of all key stakeholders involved is critical.

Jeśli uwzględni się humanistyczny wymiar architektury, zauważalnym problemem staje się deficyt w zainteresowaniu architekturą życiowego otoczenia człowieka. Rola architektury nie powinna się sprowadzać do prezentowania i sprzedaży efektownych obrazków, które mogą maskować faktyczne problemy ludzkiego środowiska. Przeciwnie, architektura powinna reprezentować życie ludzi i ich aspiracje oraz zachęcać do przebywania w przestrzeni publicznej razem z innymi. Artykuł prezentuje niektóre kwestie etyczne związane z architekturą i wynikające z procesów globalizacyjnych, z niedoceniania problemu ludzkiej skali i różnorodności codziennego życia w przestrzeni publicznej miasta. Przedstawiono tu pogląd, że przekonującą przyczyną piękna we współczesnej architekturze powinna być troska o tworzenie nowych, ważnych i dobrych doświadczeń dla codziennych użytkowników architektury.

Bearing in mind the human dimension of architecture, the nowadays experienced deficit in interest in architecture of life environment may be worrying. The role of architecture should not be limited to presentation and sale of spectacular images that may screen real problems of the human environment. On the contrary it should represent people’s life and aspirations and encourage them to dwell in public spaces together with other people. The paper presents some ethical issues in architecture resulting from globalization processes, from neglecting the human scale and importance of the variety of everyday life of public space in the city. It is argued that the convincing reason for beauty in architecture nowadays should be related to creating new, good and important experiences for daily users of architecture.

This article attempts to figure out the current understanding of public spaces and the contemporary tools for bottom-up activation of public spaces to make them more friendly and functional. The paper investigates contemporary public spaces' challenges and what tools can be used to improve them. In this research, the main issue will be the question: what kind of tools and actions can be offered to maintain the quality of public spaces? There are two basic approaches for bettering public spaces: ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’. The paper concentrates on the first approach and considers such methods as place-making and tactical urbanism in designing public spaces along with the community involvement. The work describes an increasing need for an architect, urban designer and planner to be involved in the process of city revitalisation as an interface between the local government and the inhabitants. This study attempts to answer the question of what is a connection between the architectural and social context of the public realm and the relationship between different types of public spaces, what makes public space friendly for users. How do public spaces help to strengthen social connections in towns, what is connection between architectural context and social context of the public realm. The presented study cases explain the different approaches and tools of place-making, including creative place-making.
