This article identifies cities that are shrinking in Portugal. Looking at the d em o- graphic evolution from the 1991 until 2011 we identified 17 cities that are losing inhabitants, 9 of them persistently and 8 since 2001. This decline is present in the two biggest cities of Portugal, Lisbon and Oporto that present 17% and 21% decline re spectively. After this first screening, we crossed the history of each city with socio - economic data (e.g. employment rate, housing characteristics, and unemplo y- ment among others) and purposed that reasons for shrinking include: suburbanization, ec o- nomic t ransformation, satellite effect and env i- ronmental drivers. However, several cities pr e- sent a mixture of reasons underlying shrinking and further work should be undertake to co m- plement this exploratory analysis. 2015 artículo científico 1645-586X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=514351600002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5143 Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais application/pdf Associação Portuguesa para o Desenvolvimento Regional Revista Portuguesa de Estudos Regionais (Portugal) Num.40 |
