Abstract(s)
Using census data from 1960 to 2021, this graphic reveals how suburban municipalities evolved from
representing less than 19% of the population in mainland Portugal to almost 39%. In particular,
suburban municipalities constitute the only group of municipalities for which doubling population size
occurred more often than not. At the same time, Lisbon and Porto, the central cities of the two
metropolitan areas, lost 32% and 24%, respectively, of their population. The paper concludes by briefly
enumerating the causes of suburbanization in Portugal that have been more discussed in the literature.
