Notes on the population - Lisbon: Metropolitan Area and city

Abstract

In the centre (of either the city or Metropolitan Area), locations are becoming bereft of residents, and the population's progressive ageing is particularly intense. Peripheral areas, especially the LMA, present a different situation, with some districts displaying very high population increases, and a relatively stable ageing of the different age groups. These notes focus especially on the description of these contrasts, taking a two-fold look at the city of Lisbon: both as one of the LMA's 18 districts, and as an entity made up of 53 municipalities.
