Since the end of the decade from 1990 the cost and quality of life in large cities have exerted a strong influence of relocation of the population of those cities to areas of the interior and / or rural.

The European city that has lost more population was Lisbon, as data from the European Commission: in the last ten years (1995-2005), Lisbon lost 20% of the population.
In Portugal, the second largest city, Oporto, lost in the same period 23% of the population being in 2006 with 270 thousand inhabitants. The same demography of other thirty-four cities in the Iberian Peninsula.
