From Lisbon to the South: A Sustainable Territory?

Abstract

In order to illustrate a territorial specificity of the South of the Portuguese continent, the text intends to equate some of the conditions of sustainability of this territory, having as empirical reference two researches of nature and objectives very different from each other. For such a debate, an analytical framework structured around the notions of Territory, Heritage and Culture is presented. In the end, a number of dilemmatic issues are presented, in a rather schematic way, that enunciate some of the themes of a necessary problematization of the sustainable development of the South of the country.
