David Manuel Leite dos Santos Viana

David Leite Viana is an architect and urban planner whose career bridges academic research and professional practice. His work focuses on the transfer of knowledge into spatial planning, urban design, and public policy, addressing contemporary urban challenges such as the proximity city model, climate change, housing, and the application of formal methods in urban planning and territorial management. Currently, he is the Head of the Planning Division at Matosinhos City Council (DP-CMM). In this role, he was responsible for delimiting the Urban Pressure Zone (ZPU) and developing the Municipal Housing Charter (CMH). He currently coordinates the Matosinhos Proximity Charter, aligned with the implementation of the “15-minute city” model. He was also involved in defining the Matosinhos Municipal Green Structure (EVM). Previously, he served as Deputy to the Councillor for Urban Planning at the Porto City Council. His career combines scientific expertise with municipal governance, contributing to public strategies on housing, environmental and urban resilience, and territorial cohesion. In academia, he is a professor at Portucalense University (UPT) and a researcher at CIAUD-UPT. He supervises doctoral research at Iscte-IUL within the PhD Programme in Architecture of Contemporary Metropolitan Territories, with theses focusing on urban morphology, walkability, private housing developments, and climate resilience. He has held several leadership positions, including coordinator of the Urbanism research area at CIAUD-UPT, director of the Integrated Master's in Architecture and Urbanism at ESG, coordinator of the Territory, Environment and Urbanism research field at CI-ESG, vice-director of the Architecture Programme at ESAP, and director-secretary of the African Study Centre at the University of Porto (CEAUP). He is actively involved in European research projects that reflect his commitment to innovation, such as the Horizon Europe project 'GreenInCities', focusing on nature-based solutions, and the DUT-funded project 'Co-imagining Needs-based Mobility Visions for the Proximity City'. He also contributed to a UNESCO project on climate change adaptation and cultural heritage on Mozambique Island. Furthermore, he is a member of the research team for the ISUF-funded project on 'Artificial Intelligence for Architecture and Urban Morphology'. He is the co-founder and co-chair of the International Symposium on Formal Methods in Architecture (FMA Symposia), published by Springer, and serves as vice-president of the Scientific Council of the Portuguese Network of Urban Morphology (PNUM). His editorial contributions include serving on the boards of the Revista de Morfologia Urbana (RMU), Built Form: Journal of Morphological Research and Practice in Planning, Design and Architecture, and the Sophia and Scopio magazines (both at CEAU/AAI-FAUP). His international academic engagement includes teaching and research collaborations with several European institutions. He has been a visiting fellow at TU Delft (Netherlands), an external examiner at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), an ENGAGE research partner at CAUGH-Nottingham Trent University (UK), and an ERASMUS visiting lecturer at the Royal Danish Academy (Denmark) and Politecnico di Milano (Italy). He was also an invited professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain), where he taught on the application of Space Syntax in spatial planning. Through his dual role in academia and local government, David Leite Viana advances a practice-based academic approach grounded in the realities of planning. His work seeks to connect theory, formal methods, and public policy to address spatial justice and urban resilience.
