Colina do Castelo comprises seven neighbourhoods in the historic urban area of Lisbon. These areas give the city its unique identity, as they are linked with the original expansion of the city and its foundation.

Registration will close on Thursday 13 April 2023 - 5pm UTC.


This project will focus specifically on the area of Mouraria, one of the most multicultural neighbourhoods in Lisbon. Composed of narrow and sloping streets, it presents a diversity of buildings, featuring some of the oldest buildings in the city. Despite being the historical and cultural heart of the city, Colina do Castelo has been subject to an ever-increasing abandonment rate. Starting from the 60s, the population of the pilot plot area reduced by 56%. Simultaneously, there is a growing disparity between the young and the elderly, between locals and foreigners as well as workers and the unemployed. 


To combat against these disparities and retain the identity of the neighbourhoods in this area, Colina do Castelo Hub is now being developed as part of the H2020 Project HUB-IN (Hubs of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Transformation of Historic Urban Areas), carried out in Lisbon by the Municipality and Lisboa E-Nova. This Hub strives to be a transformational engine for the sustainability and well-being of communities, by sharing and combining innovation and traditions, with a focus on sustainability. The overarching objective of this project is to combat the desertification of this historical area by promoting more circular neighbourhoods while preserving the identity and heritage. One of the main aims for Colina do Castelo Hub is to promote climate action, making it compatible with the cultural-led urban regeneration; creating better living conditions and comfort for local communities. The project should develop strategies to integrate nature-based solutions, improve the use of water resources and empower communities through culture to foster a more sustainable lifestyle.



Approx. site area 

21 hectares.


Key Information

Even though Colina do Castelo is the beating heart of the city, only 2.8% of the Lisbon population lives there, as a consequence of the high abandonment rate which started in the 60s.


Priority areas & main expectations

Students should develop a green and thriving neighbourhood preserving the history of the area, with a special focus on the following challenges: 

a) Integrate nature-based solutions in outdoor spaces to reduce the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and the impact of heat waves; 

b) Enhance water reuse and improve climate adaptation, promoting circularity; and 

c) Empower local communities - using art as a vehicle for climate awareness and adopting a more sustainable lifestyle.
