“…Ainda de acordo com Melo (2017) no período colonial, tempos em que a cidade era considerada a capital da Província Ultramarina de Moçambique, o desenvolvimento urbano surgiu através de situações criadas pela revolução industrial com um forte crescimento urbano gerado pelo grande afluxo de população maioritariamente rural, a introdução de novas funcionalidades e necessidades de saneamento e provisão de infraestruturas adequadas.…”

O presente trabalho de pesquisa apresenta uma proposta metodológica de identificação denovas centralidades funcionais urbanas com base nos dados dos pontos de interesse daplataforma Open Street Map. Por outro lado, dados coletados através do trabalho de campo,entrevistas também foram usados para o estudo, complementados com imagens do GoogleEarth. Os dados de pontos de interesse foram classificados de acordo com critérios prédefinidos representando funcionalidades urbanas. Cada um dos critérios foi atribuído umpeso. Os pesos dos critérios foram calculados com base no método do Processo AnalíticoHierárquico. Para tal, foram realizadas entrevistas junto a especialistas e indivíduos commaior experiência de vivência na área de estudo, tendo como base as suas percepções emrelação a distribuição das funcionalidades urbanas. Os resultados das entrevistas foramintroduzidos em matrizes que permitiram o cálculo dos pesos de cada critério. Ademais, osdados dos pontos de interesse foram editados e processados com a ajuda do aplicativoArcGis onde foi produzido um mapa que mostra a distribuição espacial dos pontos deinteresse e os respetivos níveis de centralidade. Portanto, foi possível identificar com opresente estudo alguns pontos de concentração fora do centro histórico da cidade de Maputo,o que mostra evidências de surgimento de novas centralidades funcionais como resultado deimplantação de novas infraestruturas urbanas na área não central, principalmenterelacionadas ao comércio e prestação de serviços.

Urban planning and related policies can contribute to improvement in health. Recent epidemiological and quantitative Health Impact Assessment (HIA) studies in Europe and North America suggest that a change from passive (car) to active transportation (cycling, walking) and public transport in daily life could improve health. HIA studies are still largely lacking in low and middle-income countries. We conducted a scoping study to evaluate the availability of data to conduct quantitative HIA in two cities from two low-income countries. We collected information through interviews with different local agents, from the National Institute of Statistics and by conducting field work to identify the built environment and mobility characteristics in the respective cities. Conducting a quantitative HIA in Maputo (Mozambique) is currently not possible, mainly because there is no appropriate data on mortality, road traffic accidents and physical activity of the general population. However, in Cochabamba (Bolivia) it might be possible when the mobility plan will be available (currently under development), in which data on traffic flows, mobility surveys and transport modal shares will become available. The current paper describes two examples of the opportunities and difficulties to conduct quantitative HIA in low-and middle-income countries, highlighting the limited availability of data (quantitatively and qualitatively) on transport and urban planning and health outcomes.

“…Economic growth and the expansion of business in Mozambique had fostered inequality and produced hot-spots of accumulation in Maputo (Castel-Branco, 2015;Melo, 2013). Between 2004 and 2014, the businesses in the sample population had benefitted from the wider context of economic change and liberalization in Mozambique.…”

“…Liberalization had enabled the import of new apparel (Ericsson & Brooks, 2015), leisure providers benefitted from increases in tourism and middle-class spending (Vines et al, 2015), and building companies enjoyed a boom in new construction and infrastructure projects (The Business Year, 2014). Businesses in the Baixa, or downtown, of central Maputo along three major retail avenues: Avenue 25 de Setembro, Avenue 24 de Julho and Avenue Vladimir Lenine, and in the Maputo Shopping Centre, were selected as these core downtown areas were a focus for commercial growth (Barros et al, 2014;Melo, 2013). Construction firms operating in the areas of Benfica and Matola were also included as fewer of these businesses were located in the Baxia.…”

Was Africa rising? Narratives of development success and failure among the Mozambican middle class. Territory, Politics, Governance. In the 2000s and 2010s, a narrative of 'Africa Rising' was popularized by businesses, donors, media and political leaders. High economic growth rates, increased investment from the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and the export of natural resources supported claims of development success. One group held up as beneficiaries was the emerging African middle class. Despite the optimism, poverty ratios remained stable and impoverishment was widespread. Change was occurring, but the gains were uneven. Mozambique had a liberalized economy and was at the forefront of numerous accounts of Africa's rise in 2014. Perceptions of change among middle-class Mozambicans working in small and medium-sized enterprises in the hospitality, retail and construction sectors in the capital Maputo were investigated. Economic growth enabled good performance for some businesses in the capital city, but there were challenges such as regulations that hampered enterprises, rising inequality and labour exploitation by foreign companies. There was frustration among the middle class with the state and business elites. Through a process of extraversion, leaders in the ruling Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO) party worked as intermediaries between the global and national markets and gained from uneven development. Mozambique served as an important example of how economic growth had limited developmental benefits for those in the middle.

Narrativas sobre el éxito y el fracaso del desarrollo en la clase media de Mozambique. Territory, Politics, Governance. En las décadas de 2000 y 2010, los comercios, donantes, medios de comunicación y líderes políticos popularizaron la narrativa del 'auge de África'. Factores como las altas tasas de crecimiento económico, el incremento de inversiones por parte de los países BRICS (Brasil, Rusia, India, China y Sudáfrica) y la exportación de los recursos naturales respaldaron las declaraciones sobre el éxito de las iniciativas de desarrollo. Uno de los grupos supuestamente más beneficiados fue la emergente clase media africana. Pese al optimismo, las tasas de pobreza siguieron siendo las mismas y el empobrecimiento era general. El cambio ocurrió pero las ganancias fueron desiguales. Mozambique tenía una economía liberalizada y fue pionera de numerosos relatos del auge de África en 2014. Se analizaron las percepciones de cambio entre la clase media de Mozambique que trabaja en pequeñas y medianas empresas en el sector hospitalario, de comercio minorista y de construcción en la capital Maputo. El crecimiento económico ...
