Local Plan for Immigrant Integration

Best practice Communication and anti-rumour campaigns

In order to express his commitment to the local people and to inject a sense of urgency into public officials, the Mayor of Lisbon Antonio Costa has taken the radical step of moving his office from the palatial City Hall to the Largo do Intendente, one of the city’s poorest and most multicultural districts. He also ensured the work will be properly co-ordinated by establishing a special team within the municipality called GLEM (Lisbon at the Crossroads of the World), and giving it executive powers to ensure different agencies co-operate with each other.
