Lisbon almost doubled between 1950 and 1975. The neighbourhoods from the Zoo going east are all from that era, it's a lot of the city.

- DoingIsLearning 6y agoSure the both Lisbon and Porto grew and Salazar enforced a de facto architectural style, but the regime only built public buildings and some social housing. Perhaps this is an English-as-a-foreign-language thing but to me "under Salazar" implies that the regime ordered, and payed for, most of the construction in that era which is not true.
- HarryHirsch 6y agoNot a native speaker either, but to me "under Salazar" would mean during his era and expressing the era's spirit. As you say, the city planning and architecture certainly bears the stamp of the Estado Novo, even though the government didn't pay for most of it.
