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[1] projects in Europe, encompassing an area of 300 hectares and with an original target population of close to 60,000 inhabitants [2]. It is being developed by an international consortium known as Sociedade Gestora da Alta de Lisboa, or SGAL, in accordance to a public-private partnership agreement with the Municipality of Lisbon[3]. 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 [4]. Despite this, most of the street network is in place, as are a number of social facilities[5], and the promoter is expecting faster development in the coming years [6].
