He strongly questioned some approaches to knowledge and paved the way for trade with India. Following his achievements, Lisbon enjoyed a time of great prosperity that came to a sudden end following the disastrous earthquake in 1755. What we experience as an impressive city image today, especially the Baixa, was created in the 18th century. Only the Torre de Belém still reminds us of the time of great sailors and their untiring spirit of discovery. Of course, the time of individual explorations is long past, but the urge for new knowledge has remained unchanged. Today, it is a great number of people who work on the front lines with curiosity, diligence and persistence to bring about progress. They have come to Lisbon as well, to make new discoveries by sharing scientific and practical approaches. Not only in lectures, workshops and discussions but also in dialogues with industry, at the Oertli booth for example. Discover the total range of cataract and posterior segment surgical platforms, the latest functions of the OS4 device, an amazingly simple MIGS method and the new FEELceps line, or simply discover the friendliness and competence of our employees at booth no P263.

    CASE STUDY: LISBON - A DREAM DESTINATION? Diogo Alexandre Almeida Alves Project submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of MSc. Business Administration Supervisor: Professor Paulo Rita, ISCTE Business School, Department of Marketing, Operations and Management December 2011 - Spine – Almeida Alves A DREAM DESTINATION? – Diogo Diogo Alexandre LISBON Lisbon – A Dream Destination? RESUMO O turismo é um fenómeno marcante do século XXI, assumindo importância nas mais variadas esferas que compõem a vida em comunidade, constituindo uma égide económica, política, cultural e social difícil de encontrar em outros sectores da sociedade. Este caso pedagógico insere-se nessa problemática, partindo de um conjunto de tendências de turismo internacionais para a focalização num destino específico, a capital de Portugal, Lisboa. Tendo em vista uma discussão globalizante e integrante dos diversos temas que confluem para a gestão estratégica e promoção de um destino turístico enquanto marca, serão apresentados um conjunto de dados que servirão de base para um estudo aprofundado do mercado turístico lisboeta, avaliando primordialmente as dimensões de posicionamento e imagem percebida do destino, partindo ainda de determinadas características que definem o perfil do seu público-alvo. Lisboa enquadra-se num cenário competitivo forte, no qual procura distinguir-se dos principais destinos Europeus através de uma estratégia holística que tem por base um alinhamento entre os diversos produtos turísticos da cidade e região e que contribuem para o seu posicionamento genérico enquanto destino turístico. Para facilitar o entendimento do caso será efectuada uma abordagem ao tema de marketing estratégico de destinos turísticos, no que toca sobretudo aos conceitos de marca, imagem e comportamentos do consumidor em turismo.

Keywords: Green Infrastructure, environmental justice, Lisbon, urban greening. Degree project course: Strategies for sustainable development, Second Cycle AL250X, 30 credits Author: Jessica Verheij Supervisor: Nathalie Bergame Co-Supervisor: Simone Tulumello (ICS-ULisboa) Examiner: Sara Borgström Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering School of Architecture and the Built Environment KTH Royal Institute of Technology June 2019 ABSTRACT In the summer of 2018 the European Commission awarded Lisbon as European Green Capital 2020 – in part due to investments made by Lisbon municipality in Green Infrastructure (GI) and new green spaces. As the city is becoming greener, this study aims to analyze Lisbon’s urban greening strategies from an environmental justice perspective. It does so based on data collected through desk-research of relevant planning documents and other studies; semi-structured interviews held with individuals working in different positions at Lisbon municipality; and field observations made in Lisbon’s green spaces. The data was analyzed while attending to the different dimensions of environmental justice (EJ), namely procedural and substantive aspects. This research finds that Lisbon’s urban greening strategies reflect environmental justice concerns by seeking to expand GI across the city and increase green space availability.
