La penúltima Lisboa: el espacio urbano de la capital portuguesa en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX

Abstract

We approach the new imagery of the Portuguese capital in the hands of the Spanish who visited her in the final decades of the nineteenth century; a city that grew in the image and likeness of major European cities and what was meant by urban modernity: wider streets (Public Walkways, Aterros, new avenues…) new neighbourhoods or the ornamentation of urban space. This allows us to see how the city grew without destroying the previous Lisbons and reflect on the ideology of urban space, widened in the process of industrialization and that meant the birth of the new capital city.
