Degradation and Pollution
The Park of Nations is situated in the eastern quarter of the city of Lisbon, in a transition area between the municipalities of Lisbon and Loures. Its physical limits are the Av. Marechal Gomes da Costa, to the south, the river Trancão, to the north, the Tagus estuary to the east and the northern railway line to the west.

VideoThe Park of Nations was occupied by large industrial infrastructures, namely the Petrogal refinery and deposits from the petrol industry (formerly Sacor and other companies, occupying around 50 hectares), the Industrial Abattoir of Lisbon, the General War Materials Depot, the Waste Waters Treatment Plant, the Waste Landfill and the Solid Waste Treatment Plant (ETRS) of Beirolas, besides various installations of the port and other similar activities.

In the area immediately to the west of the railway line other small and medium-sized industries were also installed in a fairly haphazard way in terms of urban planning.

The main reasons explaining the state of decay and pollution reached in the Park of Nations before the intervention of the Parque EXPO – the Entity responsible for the realisation of the 1998 World Exposition and for the work necessary for its success – were due mainly to:

  • The type of industries and the stage at which they were established, corresponding to a period when environmental concerns and the technical means to improve the environment were only just beginning;
  • The way these industries were established, which at that time paid little attention to questions of urban organisation;
  • To the nature of the ownership of a large percentage of the land, maintained in a state of expectancy, but without control in respect of situations of clandestine use, such as the dumping of rubbish and construction debris;

The encompassing of the industrial port zone by the urban fabric, creating a situation of a conflict of interests which would progressively question its established vocation in view of the greater dynamism of its "urban" use and the inability to find an answer to the installed uses and their development.
