A Carta de Património Arqueológico do PDM do Porto Possibilidades e Limites de uma Cartografia da Memória e Mutabilidade da Cidade. Parte I – Centro Histórico E Áreas Adjacentes

This text aims to present the Archaeological Heritage Charter of the current Municipal Master Plan of Porto (MMPP), discussing both its limits and possibilities. To this end, we will focus on reviewing an earlier version of the charter and explain how the new safeguarded archaeological areas were defi ned. By looking at the Porto 2030 Strategy defi ned at the MMPP, in which different city models/policies were discussed such as a smart city or green city, the importance of considering the concept of the deep city is emphasized. That is, a city model that values the mutability of spaces and their temporal dimension as an intrinsic characteristic of urban spaces and, therefore, understands the archaeological remains as resources to promote the quality of the urban spaces, the well-being of the community, and the attractiveness of the territory. It is from this perspective that the remains and other traces supporting the archaeological safeguarded areas are briefl y presented, demonstrating their multi-temporal character and highlighting their scientifi c, heritage and urban value
