A SUSTAINABLE CITY
It is important to take advantage of the unique moment we are experiencing to make Lisbon one of the best cities in the world to live. This means a city better able to give everyone, both present and future generations, more opportunities to realize their dreams and develop their potential. An open city, capable of living up to its ancient history, as a space of future for all.
It is also a vision of the city inseparable from a city feeling. A city is a place of memory, sharing, affection, conviviality, exchange, competition, creativity. It is a place of identity and diversity. It is a place of different times and spaces. It is a place of people and heritage. It is a place of stories and history. It is a place of permanence and change, of preservation and transformation.
