我们将重点放在边界的概念上，以探索城市中的流动和不流动如何影响人类发展和城市文化之间的关系。我们将边界定义为由领土、表示以及流动和固定的不同可能性组成的关系空间。借鉴对里约热内卢贫民窟的研究，我们建议采用系统的方法来分析边界，并确定使边界或多或少漏洞百出、从而或多或少易于人类流动的社会-机构、空间和象征元素。我们强调城市边界的孔隙度与人类发展之间的联系，并举例说明了里约热内卢两个贫民窟社区的对比模型。我们表明，贫民窟基层组织对社会文化环境的参与增加了城市内部边界的孔洞，并有助于自我、社区和城市的发展。注重边界、其不同要素和孔隙度水平意味着同时处理城市空间的心理社会和文化层面，以及基层社会行为者通过参与和社会文化环境的符号化重建发展自己的新方式。
We focus on the notion of borders to explore how mobility and immobility in the city affect the relationship between human development and urban culture. We define borders as a relational space made of territoriality, representations and different possibilities of mobility and immobility. Drawing on research in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, we suggest a systematic approach to the analysis of borders and identify the socio-institutional, spatial and symbolic elements that make them more or less porous and thus more or less amenable to human mobility. We highlight the association between porosity in city borders and human development and illustrate the model contrasting two favela communities in Rio de Janeiro. We show that participation in the socio-cultural environment by favela grassroots organisations increases the porosity of internal city borders and contributes to the development of self, communities and the city. To focus on borders, their different elements and levels of porosity means to address simultaneously the psychosocial and cultural layers of urban spaces and the novel ways through which grassroots social actors develop themselves through participation and semiotic reconstruction of the socio-cultural environment.
