Porto Novo

Team point of view

Porto Brandão, situated in the Almada suburbs, constitutes a potential “urban catalyst” because of its territorial and landscape peculiarities.
The project aims to give Porto Brandão the role of a new centrality on the Lisbon “outro lado,” in order to promote the transformation of the metabolic city and revitalize its socio-economic and cultural scene. In particular, certain project aims like the waterfront development and the new harbour, the revitalization of the area’s economy through the re-introduction of wine production around the Lazareto, and the introduction of a public transport line, will help to create a sense of “place”, in response to the specific needs of different generations in terms of “space” and “program facilities”, while enhancing their active role in city life.
