Abstract

This chapter aims to describe the urban morphology of the city of Lisbon within its identity creation process throughout time, according to an ecological condition approach. Based on a new landscape interpretation model, it aims to contribute to a better understanding of the current sustainability issues of the urban landscape (as a system of systems), following an interrelated analysis of the confluence between how it functions ecologically and human occupation processes. It is, therefore, a useful contribution to spatial planning decisions and policies transposed into territorial management tools, particularly with regard to urban ecosystem services: improved urban life and the introduction of positive elements that are economically measurable for better management of the city and reduced risk.
