Tech/Engineering - Architecture / Cultural economy, cultural programming
Portuguese term or phrase: leitura territorial
Taken from a transcript of a panel discussion on the role of culture/cultural programming in the urban renewal process, said by an architect involved in the founding of a literary festival.

The title of his presentation is: "Leitura territorial e conexão entre instituições e a vida real"

and the term is used again to describe the literary festival:

"uma atividade cultural com uma série de ações permanentes de educação, incentivo à leitura, de leitura territorial."

and again in a comparison to consulting with a family on the construction of a new house:

"Sabemos fazer sozinhos a leitura de uma família, mas de um coletivo você precisa de leitura territorial. E como você lê o território?"
