[Daniel_Portugal]

Qual é a piada Barra. Povoa e Vila do Conde sao uma conurbação. a 7ª maior portuguesa.


Pedro: Lisbon conurbation has 1.7million, and Porto conurbation has 1.3million.

 

[Fallout]

So 63% of Portuguese live in Lisbon or Porto urban areas? Aren't these numbers overblown a little:sly:?

 

[Daniel_Portugal]

Nop. Confirm yourself by watching this population density map.

our country is much bipolarized in terms of population.

 

[Daniel_Portugal]

In fact, that sprawl in norwest, in outskirts of Porto, has a population of 3.6 million people.

 

[PedroGabriel]

Pedro: Lisbon conurbation has 1.7million, and Porto conurbation has 1.3million.

data is from 2001 and you can find it here. They only account for parishes that have city status, some urban areas may have town status or no status, so that may be the issue. In here which is something easy to see where the numbers come from. And is like i'm saying they only putted into account areas with status, if an adjacent area with even 1000 people per sq km is not putted into account.

So 63% of Portuguese live in Lisbon or Porto urban areas? Aren't these numbers overblown a little:sly:?

that's a bit more than 2 million, actually, in official metro areas that's almost 4 million, but most people live agglomerated in these two large regions, as these metro areas also include some of the cities mentioned in the TOP 10, but are not "conurbated" (?!) with Porto or Lisbon and don't rely on it, and the country is small. Well, it's complex!

2001 data (so of course it is outdated)

Lisbon
3.34 million (wider metro)
2,641,006 (official metro)
564,657 (municipality)

Porto
2.99 million (wider metro)
1,551,950 (official metro)
238,954 (municipality)

 

[PedroGabriel]

here's the demographic map with the cities or urban areas or whatever. It will go to the fisrt post all the way.

2.99 million (wider metro), what municipality you put in this wider metro? Be carefull :bash:

http://www.rave.pt/pdf/Mobilidade e Desenvolvimento Regional.pdf
2.99 Porto, NUTS II, Tamega, Ave, Cavado, Entre Douro e Vouga and Grande Porto... surreal...
3.34 Lisboa, NUTS II Oeste, Leziria do Tejo, Peninsula Setubal, Alentejo Litoral, Grande Lisboa.... surreal...

And super wider metro Portugal 10.5M?

For me:
2,641,006 (official metro) Lisbon
1,551,950 (official metro) Oporto

 

[Karlussantus]

Braga
05- Braga 109,460 (municipality 170,858) wrong

109.460 City (2001 INE) - 164.192 Municipality (2001 INE)
~130.000 City (estimative in 2006) - 173.946 Municipality in 2006 INE prevision

P.S. Grande Área Metropolitana do Minho 798 043 (2001 INE), main city Braga. (Includes, Amares, Barcelos, Braga, Cabeceiras de Basto, Fafe, Guimarães, Póvoa de Lanhoso, Terras de Bouro, Vieira do Minho, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Vila Verde, Vizela)

Well, to tell the truth is like that.
Portugal becamed a very unbaleced country in terms of distribution of population as you can see in the map.
What´s happening is that now the interior of portugal is, with some exceptions, an unhabitated place where some times you have villages with just 2 or 4 people, in ages aroun 75 and 85 years old.
The litoral with the Northwest around Porto and Lisbon region are now places with big suburban areas and with trafic jams and all the inconvenients attached to big population concentration.
And the future scenario is of a reinforcement of this trend, with big investements made by the central government, specially in Lisbon.
It´s catch 22, because the inreasig needs of those 2 areas force to bigger investment that brings more people and because portugal has limited resources the rest of the country is putted in second plan.

 

[Tom_Lisboa]

Achei que a area região metropoliatan de Lisboa tinha 2,6 milhoes e a do Porto, 1,5 milhões. Mas não tenho certeza. Não sei se vcs se referem às AMs.

De qualquer jeito, é ridiculo tar ai a postar a Povoa, como uma das maiores areas urbanas de Portugal.

Pior ainda é falar que o municipio tem 288 mil habitantes ¬¬ Temos que ter bom senso.


Lisbon's metropolitan area has 2.6 million people, and Porto metropolitan area has 1.5 (with Povoa do Varzim) million, there are the 2 only/biggest M.A. in Portugal.

 

[PedroGabriel]

Dear tom, English here please. You obviously have no idea on what you are speaking, and I can't blame you for knowing very little about Portugal as you live in Brazil, since just after you were born. So, if you want to learn something please don't talk as if you know something, but read and learn, not only because you know nothing about this, but also because of your age.

2001 CENSUS DATA
Lisbon
3.34 million <--- Lisbon Metropolitan Region (AMLisbon + Leiria and others)
2.64 million <---- Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Lisbon urban area+ Setubal+ Povoa de Santa Iria + etc)
1.5 million <--- Lisbon Urban Area
564,657 <--- Lisbon Municipality

Porto
2.99 million <--- Porto Metropolitan Region (AMPorto + Braga + Guimarães + Famalicão...)
1.55 million <---- Porto Metropolitan Area (Porto urban area+Povoa de Varzim+Vila do Conde+Santo Tirso+Espinho+S.J.Madeira, etc.)
1 million <--- Porto Urban Area
238,954 <--- Porto Municipality

my first post refers only to urban areas, not caring for municipal boundaries. In Portugal there wasn't a process to expand cities by annexing neighbouring ones, just like in Barcelona for instance. So, the situation is more complex, but you can easily simplify it, as I did in the first post, and everybody in the streets knows that. And this is a study made by someone who is a specialist, not some 15 or 21 yr old boy lol , maybe the (urban) numbers are a bit LOW, but that's because of the very strict criteria that was used and the numbers are rather old.

 

[Tom_Lisboa]

hahahahah. who told u that i live in Brazil? :lol: better, who told that i'm 15, or 21? I'm a old 51 years guy, that lives in Porto, ok? better?

Ok, any way, i'm sure about what im talking. And im sure that you just want put Povoa de Varzim, a small portuguese city, in the top 10. xD It's strange u put it as the 7th URBAN AREA, cuz the city has less than 100000, oh and don't forget, your city, is a small part of Porto metropolitan area. ;D

That has 1.7 million people. I can't see what is wrong about this?!? but .........................

 

[PedroGabriel]

you are 15, 21 is Alentejolover's age. You are 51 and living in Porto. LOL Well your location is Lisbon, but ooops, you were just born there, I know you've already tol everything about you... oooops A lying 15 yr old kid hno: the education you get in that country is insane, you need to have correction classes.

Sorry, but I've no patience to start a flame war with children and especially one that has no clue about this. So, there's no point to discuss :dunno: Would you mind to shut up or learn, if you are to make a flame war, please get lost. thank you.

 

[Tom_Lisboa]

WAR? hahahah tipical Poveiro (who was born in Povoa de Varzim ) guy.

Nobody want war, its ridiculous, u must grow up Pedro Gabriel, we're in a forum, not at your barn ;D probably who's from Povoa de Varzim don't have much contact with information, but be sure that brazil, has a lot of culture, specialy portuguese, and im pretty educate, i just didnt let u lie ;D don't be angry, povoa its a nice city, small, but nice. Sure that many people want to know it. isnt it? :lol:

 

[Tom_Lisboa]
