Abstract

The management of urban environment, together with the preservation of thenatural environment and the creation of a sustainable built environment, is a complex challengefor contemporary societies. In the name of progress, cities are contributing for the degradationof all surrounding ecosystems. Therefore there is an arising demand for developing newstrategies and a new urban development paradigm settled in the search for the equilibriumbetween natural and built environments and efficient use of resources. The objective of thispaper is to analyse how the urban expansion of the city of Estarreja took place in relation to theland use, based on the land capability classification maps of the area. Based in the results somesustainable development strategies that might be applied to the city are discussed. The obtainedresults demonstrate that the city has been growing faster than its population, consuming vastportions of land, since its growth has been occurring in a linear form. Despite this fact, resultsshow that most of this expansion took place towards a territory of lower agricultural potential,when comparing to the location of its original settlement.
