Abstract
This chapter examines the contribution of Étienne de Groër in the planning of a garden city region for Lisbon. It reveals an outstanding example of Ebenezer Howard’s concept of a Garden City applied in Lisbon and its surroundings, set out between 1936 and 1950, while envisioning a productive and socio-economic inclusive territory. At a time when urban planning urges for solutions to tackle food security, social cohesion, and sustainability threats, revisiting Groër planning approach emerges as an important contribution to support future planning practices to reimagine more productive landscapes.
