Summary

Urban revitalization efforts around Évora's historic walled center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, have successfully integrated architectural, landscape, and cultural heritage preservation with modern urban planning. Key interventions include the reconstruction of defensive walls to enhance connectivity and reduce physical barriers, while expanding green spaces and pedestrian pathways—such as the Percurso da Água da Prata—promote community engagement and heritage appreciation. These strategies not only preserve Évora's historical fabric but also create fluid circulation networks that balance conservation with contemporary urban needs.
