| dc.description.abstract | The "No Net Land Take by 2050" target, set by the EU, has been reshaping European urban development. The main goal of this research is to compare the processes related to net land take and soil sealing in the Portuguese metropolitan regions (AML and AMP) and to assess their situation regarding the 2050 target. During 2007-2018, the artificial land area increased by 4.9 percent in AMP and 4.6 percent in AML. Net land taken averaged 0.6 ha/day in the AMP and 0.7 ha/day in the AML. Reuse of artificial land was rarely practised, at 0.02 ha/day in the AMP and 0.03 ha/day in the AML. Given that the share of sealed artificial land in both regions was already close to 60% in 2018, thereby jeopardising urban biodiversity, to reduce net land take it is recommended that future infrastructure and housing needs be met by reusing already sealed artificial areas.
