Several important events in our history, such as the Proclamation of the Republic in CITY HALL October 5th 1910, were deeply associated to this building. After the 1755 earthquake, during the Pombal reconstruction, the City Hall www.cm-lisboa.pt building was built in its present location, according to an architectural project signed by architect Eugénio dos Santos Carvalho, which was completely destroyed by a fire in November 19th 1863. A new building was then built in the same place, between 1865 and 1880, based on an architectural project by the city architect of the time Domingues Parente da Silva, while the plan for the finishing of the façade was modified by a decision of Engineer Ressano Garcia, responsible for the Technical Services of the City, thus creating the large classical fronton with sculptor decorations by French sculptor Anatole Calmels. In the interior the intervention of architect José Luís Monteiro stands out, mainly in the central staircase, as well as in the rich painting decoration made by several artists, among whom it is worth highlighting José Pereira Júnior (Pereira Cão), Columbano and Malhoa. The building as a whole reveals the intervention of quite a wide number of personalities, both at architectural and constructive level, as well as at decorative level, showing quite high quality aesthetics and innovation. Lisbon City Council On November 7th 1996 a new fire destroyed the upper floors, damaging the Praça do Município, ceilings and paintings on the first floor. 1149-014 Lisboa After the impact of the fire was assessed, the options were made regarding the General Plan of Intervention for the Recovery of the City Hall Building, conducted by architect Silva Dias. Based on a principle of loyalty to the Historic and Architectonic tradition, the option was to come close to the initial project of Architect Domingos Parente – thus taking up the essential roots of the original architectural project from the end of the former century, and that was being adulterated by later constructions from the decades of the 1930s and 1940s. Two main goals guided that plan, on the one hand, to restore the noble areas with recognised Historic and Artistic value; and on the other hand, to endow the floors formerly prepared for an institutional performance with a more functional and personalized profile, reconciling the access and use of part of these spaces by citizens, in a relationship de approximation between the City and its Citizen, through this emblematic building. Challenging the creativity of some of the most remarkable architects and artists of Lisboa, wanting to make of the City Hall building an example of dialogue between Historic and Architectonic Heritage and contemporary architectonic artistic creation, architects João de Almeida, Manuel Tainha, Nuno Teotónio Pereira, professor Daciano Costa and artists Sá Nogueira, Fernando Conduto, Maria Velez, Helena Almeida, Pedro Calapez, Jorge Martins were invited. While some plastic artists were also invited to intervene in the exterior, Eduardo Nery was put in charge of the superficial area of the square and Jorge Vieira was made responsible for the sculptures.

    SC/BES/DRE/2010/1 Paris, France. January 2010 Original: English REDUCTION OF EARTHQUAKE LOSSES IN THE EXTENDED MEDITERRANEAN REGION - RELEMR - Seismicity and Earthquake Engineering in the Extended Mediterranean Region Workshop Report Lisbon, Portugal 26 – 29 October 2009 Contact: [email protected] Foreword In many countries of the Mediterranean Basin, disasters caused by natural and environmental hazards continue to exact a heavy toll in terms of the loss of human lives and the destruction of economic and social infrastructure. With population growth in the coastal areas of countries concerned, expanding public and private infrastructure, and continuing trends towards urbanization and industrialization, the risks from great disasters are expected to increase over the coming years and decades. Among the numerous natural disasters that the countries of the Mediterranean have experienced, earthquakes have historically had great impacts. It is necessary to mobilize scientific knowledge and technological know-how to assess earthquake hazards in the Extended Mediterranean Region (EMR) and to strengthen disaster mitigation measures. To this end, regional collaboration needs to be encouraged. Since 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have been cooperating with EMR scientific and engineering organizations under the programme: Reduction of Earthquake Losses in the Extended (formerly Eastern) Mediterranean Region (RELEMR). The Programme benefits from the collaboration of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) and other entities. The purpose of the Programme is to provide a platform for examining regional approaches to improve seismic data and earthquake risk mitigation. A number of collaborative activities have taken place under this initiative.

In Australia, the predicament of urban sprawl has challenged architects and urban designers to mitigate the effects of this low density sprawl through compact housing solutions that promote efficiency in public transportation, and provide safe public green spaces that contribute to ecological sustainability. This practice-based research developed and tested the idea that courtyard housing can deliver sustainable compactness in proposing a contemporary urban design model for rapidly growing cities with subtropical climates.

Germany should grow by 1.3% this year when estimates in October were at 1.9%. France should grow by 1.5% this year (1.6% in October). Italy should grow by 0.6%, 0.4% less than the IMF’s estimates in October. Spain should grow by 2.2% in 2019. As the economic growth of Portugal’s main commercial partners slows, there is a risk for portuguese exports. Thus the main international organizations have been revising the forecasts of growth in Portuguese GDP down to between 1.5% to 1.8% for 2019. The consumer confidence indicator reduced between November and January, continuing its downwards trend that started in June. The economic climate indicator also reduced between November and January, after reaching its maximum value since March 2002 in July and August. In November 2018, the unemployment rate was at 6.7%, 0.1 percentage points (p.p.) higher than the value of the previous month, and 1.4 p.p. less than in the same month of 2017. That value represents an upwards revision of 0.1 p.p. of the provisional estimate published one month ago. Despite these indicators, for now there are no immediate factors that would raise fears of a fall in property prices although greater caution by end purchasers in “pre-construction stage” purchases has already been noted.
