Alta de Lisboa

Alta de Lisboa (in English, uptown Lisbon) is a Portuguese community on the northern edge of Lisbon. The community covers an area of roughly 3 square kilometres (740 acres).

Urban renewal

The community is the result of one of the largest urban renewal projects in Europe,[1][2] encompassing an area of 300 hectares and with an original target population of close to 60,000 inhabitants.[3] It is being developed by an international consortium known as Sociedade Gestora da Alta de Lisboa, or SGAL, in accordance with a public-private partnership agreement with the Municipality of Lisbon.[4] The project, which involves an investment of approximately 200 million euros each year,[citation needed] was set for completion in 2015, but development has been hindered by periods of economic recession.[5] Despite this, most of the street network is in place, as are a number of social facilities,[6] and the promoter is expecting faster development in the coming years.[7]
