In the 10th and final episode of the “Histórias do Porto” podcast, journalist Carlos Rico talks to landscape architect Teresa Andresen about the history of Porto’s gardens and the role these spaces played in the transformation of the city.

From Alameda da Cordoaria to the large public gardens of the 19th century, the conversation explores different moments in Porto’s relationship with landscape, green spaces and the development of the city.

The episode closes the first series of “Histórias do Porto”, an Expresso podcast supported by Católica Porto School of Business and Economics (Católica Porto SBE).
