  • Discover Lisbon with Our Guide!
    The 7th Conference of European Survey Research Association welcomes you to the fashionable city of Lisbon! Lisbon, the most westerly capital in mainland Europe, is one of the few cities in the world to offer a unique natural landscape. It’s for sure one of the most impressively located, with a series of hills facing the Tejo estuary, one of the sunniest and probably one of the least expensive cities to discover. Being a city built on hills, from the various belvederes, installed in the highest points, can enjoy breathtaking views. We highlight the castle of S. Jorge, where we reach the cacilheiros in their crossing to the south bank, the 25th April bridge, Rossio, Carmo convent, Bairro Alto, Eduardo VII park, among other points of the city. Alongside the old city, with a very rich heritage, Lisbon is also a modern city that has been renewed in new cultural and leisure proposals. In this document you can find out more about the places you cannot miss in this city – excursions, restaurants and bars, among others.

  • Planning with Peaks EXPO
    The 38th International Congress “THE PULSAR EFFECT” Planning with Peaks Athens, Greece, 21st-26th September 2002 Júlia Lourenço, University of Minho, Portugal E-mail: [email protected] EXPO - 98 AND TRICKLING DOWN EFFECTS IN LISBON 1. INTRODUCTION Expo-98 took place at a 18ha site bordering the Tagus River at a derilicted harbour area previously full of gas and petrol containers. The overall project (Expo-98 and all urban renovation) amounted to two million euros obtained as such: 65% from bank loans, 25% from the Portuguese Government and 10% from European Union. Increases in the amount of foreign visitors in Portugal were estimated at 10% in 1998 and 13% of budget increase (approximately 0,5 million euros). Expo -98 Management Board argues that these net gains associated with taxes due and paid exceeded the amount of money the State donated to this urban project. At a time when big bang events are having a more and more important role in urban dynamics of several towns, the identification and quantification of adverse and beneficial impacts remains to be done. This paper addresses this issue in a qualitative approach for the case-study of the 1998 World Exposition in Lisbon. The question that remains to be answered is the following: is this event- planning for specific targets the only way to have a global high-quality planned public space in Portugal? The site opened two weeks after the closing of Expo-98 at the end of September 1998, re- named as Parque das Nações (Nations’ Park) with some areas closed for refurbishment by blocks and not as a whole construction site.
