Description
Summary:A short Lisbon description, published by the 1930s – «Lisboa. Da sua vida e da sua beleza», by José Sousa Gomes (1937) – inspires this paper about the way that the urbanism of this particular town has been built discursively, along several years. Some structural elements, their relationships and the different observer’s scales are identified in that process. Cityscape (urban landscape), street, picturesque, urbanism, change/continuity are some of the major themes helping us to the intelligibility of that town.
