laura. oh come on the ground is empowering women giving them the rule oh we made them agent of change where. the female peacemakers starts january 5th t.w. . lisbon has become a must see tourist destination the city's annual 4500000 visitors now outstrip its population by around 9 to one international investors have pumped billions of euros into real estate the city is one big building site this woman is trying to keep one component of her city from being destroyed in the process it's historic shops as large as they are lisbon's heart and soul there it's a living memory. i shop at the same place as my grandmother did for the same thing

that's hand wraps so tailor made gloves dolls and iron door knobs. says only massaging. sophia tim patio doesn't bump into many locals when she's out running errands but she does see hordes of tourists. she was born and bred in lisbon today the 52 year old works as a historian for the city council she loves her hometown and her job has deepened that connection. there is a few simple. this is

a good example of what's happening all around the city including in the old town a quarter of. the entire apartment block has been turned into a hotel or hostel it's means safe season and a traditional shop on the ground floor is closing down. the ruidoso from cairo is known for its traditional stores. sophia says that many commercial tenants except compensation to move out because the only other alternative is to face eviction in 2015 the lisbon city council set up a scheme to at least save establishment that belonged to the city's cultural heritage once they're classified as a shop with history they're protected from the vixen for at least 5 years the stores have to be at least 25 years old and have to meet a number of criteria. today she's visiting a store whose leaseholders have asked for her help. so she is team includes

art historians on a byetta and lucille yukio. they are visiting their drug. in the old town quarter by shop. i'm simply a temp arrow from the city council from the shops with history program we'd like to go over a few things with you we need a modern information for the application fees you are the manager it's not me until if you're out and you francisco riposte so it's my store thank you for school means that we need documents lease agreements that old photos anything related to the pharmacies history. if you don't want to study. if this is the entry in the property register from january 893 you can imagine you have the. gates. will be there we had the original arches restored he says used to be an avatar according to what we've been told. this is the most obvious. which.

we have also uncovered the original floor i will show my legs on work yet only with only personality for the why aren't all the shelves the same. those over there have no doors you. shall think that. what is your real this is where the counter used to be that's why the floor is so worn here. over there was the storeroom. and the shelves were different objects and as do you have old objects in the store. you feel to be of that. you. just watched as you. walk out. really stands. companies it will very much. sadly charge

according to what. was it you know it's. going. to take a photo op with the we have a lot of old customers who still want to buy things by weight and volume. has always pushed some of been getting the same bottles refilled for 20 years or more. but are any products made here in lisbon. not only as a lisbon based company. but it. is there we have much of it was. all over the world are all good it was. not snow. that is well all of these rainbow knits i made in germany.

i can't hear a thing. that. is a mighty glad it's so simple i think one particular story didn't fit and we also have and portugal's famous polishing wax and cortisol a silver cleaner as well this smell takes me back to my childhood we used to wear esper drills that matched our uniforms and we'd skate around the freshly waxed floors but it's a lovely smell if i stayed there a smells that stay with us our whole lives it's as lot these shops catapult us back into the past the smells and images. that. for decades rents were frozen the building is rundown and the apartments empty

almost every day investors turn up at the door the owners sense they could make a killing. i think we'll stick with the it's always that hanging over us like a clown the fear the building will be sold and everything will change that will have to leave all this behind but it hasn't happened yet as i now. if the pharmacy is recognized as a shop with history it could be a lifesaver but that has yet to be determined. next door there is a habit dasher it. so if you tells them about the ski. sites they want but. this here is our website address where you can fill out the application. and i will take care of the rest. of my money i don't claim to be in fact that he hasn't got any by the heading out that. so he is trying to save as much as possible from the wrecking ball the influx of tourists has led to an influx

of investors business is booming for the likes of air b.n. b. . how did it come to the us in 2012 in the midst of the economic crisis portugal began to issue what are known as golden bees as anyone who invested at least 350000 euros was given a visa and tax breaks in return more than 4600000000 euros of foreign capital flowed into the country portugal has issued some 7600 gold and visas mainly to chinese or brazilian investors. like sweden i can't read what it says it's not in portuguese english french or any other european language i can't read what kind of construction project it is it was the only thing that i can understand is the address the name of the manager am i the real estate agency me and golden visa yet it equaled in these at.

the language on the. is vietnamese some investors have made millions buying and selling properties without investing a cent in restoration millions that don't necessarily stay in portugal critics suspect money laundering. what does that mean for the portuguese people and 2018 alone average property prices in lisbon rose by 23.5 percent to $3010.00 euro as per square meter. by contrast the average monthly wage rose by 3.7 percent to 888 euros. it's not just old shops that are falling victim to property speculation in lisbon more and more locals are being forced to move out of their city because they can't

afford their rents in just 3 years the number of holiday apartments for tourist says risen by 1080 percent. here tourists encounter other tourists in the eyes thing hope there's no laundry hanging out of the windows to dry there's no activity here any more welcome to the city seoul isn't what it was the sounds of day to day life are gone the residents chatting to one another outside the door you every day there are fewer and fewer locals. shop with history status to is not dissuade all property owners from trying to get small traditional businesses a victim like in the traditional bookseller street quad 2 out of crim in the affluent yaddo district. on toyota and unstudied was so if the attempt at oakland

was funny to me for mine. for me and my aging father it's very troubling better business that has been in the family for 3 generations is in danger a good long established relationship with our landlord has been destroyed because of greed and speculation suddenly he wanted 20 times more run from us that's the kind of money you might pay in the center of paris or london. into this room he was asking for $14000.00 euros rent each month. from the same could to his new leaders the seem to me it's obvious that it was about this look tonight that says it is like you can tell us that our more years keep a close eye on cases like this. and. they're very vigilant making sure that no law is broken our juice accu. that's your district is particularly historically significant home to palaces and other buildings

constructed after the earthquake of 755. it ends up with the large 18th century townhouses are being split up into cubby holes for tourists the interiors of palaces and apartments are being destroyed in the process. but the squeeze it's our job to find a balance well that's been shouldn't start to feel like an artificial city. you see that's starting to see that you see. that there's been definitely needed modernizing but you can't just bulldoze everything down shops workshops everything traditional in the lives of the residents themselves that's much worse than running businesses if we hadn't been designated a shop with history we no longer be here. but can the program actually protect these stores. even lisbon city council succumbed to temptation and sold some of the family silver the palace where the department of

culture was housed. so for your temper under colleagues have had to move off ice now they were going on an experience surrounded by air b.n. b. apartments and building sites. and he leaned in hanging over the balcony railings his white monochrome rather than a colorful mix. property or protection it's a contradiction it's impossible to reconcile sophia temporal prefers not to come and. she lives with her family 20 kilometers north of lisbon on the banks of the tigris river.

she ended daughter beatrice love the peace and quiet here the beauty of the river. they can still afford this luxury but they have to commute into the city every day to work. in. sofia's team is very committed to saving the old shops also in districts of the city built in the 20th century like i've been needed at all my. company here is a t. and coffee shop established in 1952 the store owners have applied to be recognised as a shop with history. in the hope of getting a 25000 euro grant. the council scheme gives them money on

a needs basis. most likely because intelligently create plans according to the customer's wishes. we always grind the beans in front of them. and that's a benefit of shops like these where the. we have 15 different plans. as you called this is where we keep track of the customers names and their favorite plans. this custom is called fair he wrote down. amount of beans to use from angola from the cape fat islands and from sound term and. he came up with that himself he passed away but his wife still comes and orders her late husband special bland. 00 . 0 road orders both sales assistant and co owner. many old shops here only survive because staff members have

a financial stake in them. thank you for coming in this year we're open for the holidays there. is a lot of money. we will need. to get out somehow to spend grindr work. combat this machine has grinding stones 2 stones on top of one another says yes like a grain mail. points are given for criticism. makes and what's this a quarter door for more. than just the book this is this is a real museum is a stone covered with metal for the grinder. but he said the paper bag on it that needs a nap space for exactly 250 grams because you don't have to weigh the coffee.

this was just me besides i think that i speak for all of us when i say that this shop has everything required to be recognized as a shop with history. in lisbon city hall it's make or break time for the coffee store and the pharmacy so for your competitor always on her way to the meeting. he is always present when decisions are. sophia temp arrow went on a buy year i describe what's special about these shops. it was ok. to. leave a sociologist is there to give an independent assessment. of

the to ask the dominican both shops get the ok from the lisbon city hall now they face one last hurdle. approval from a citizens' commission which also includes architects and town planners to me that think. it's a battle between the old and the new. battle to save lisbon from degenerating into a mere amusement park. over

140 stores have been designated historic shops up to not. many mines i mean. one of them is the haberdashery visual its name says it all. portugal's most famous fashion designers. the greats the shop pottery he's even sewn for the likes of madonna. my mother was a dressmaker herself and she used to bring me here as a small child and set me down on the counter i love being surrounded by all these things i knew what i wanted to do from the early age so i always have

a very strong aesthetic sense. if. the fantastic world of portuguese sardines couldn't be more different the shop is a symbol of the new lisbon. tradition doesn't have an easy time of it says so for you temporarily as to this used to be a jewelry shop a few days ago it looked exactly as it did when we found it and gave it historic shop status intact with the facade in its original state now it's a souvenir store. e.q. little complex i mean it's got explosions that will simulate the centuries old jewelry shop now has a completely different function that is going to be in the everything that was in its original state. that in fact counter the tables the

decorations and so into you it all i mean. but it was so beautiful. when these it's frustrating to see something like that. you've. ever faced as something you get this is for that this is it it's very difficult to do anything about it shop owners can do what they like with the property they can decide to go into a different business. and in this case the jeweler was also the owner of the store apparently someone offered to pay $8000.00. it was a month in rent and he didn't hesitate for long it's not clear how the souvenir shop intends to cover the rent. and what's worse another landlord who wants to get rid of his tenants has brought a test case against lisbon city council. he's challenging the legality of the scheme. so for your predator

a few years the entire project is at risk. so strong could have gotten calls that the case has been brought before the constitutional court which is being asked to consider whether the law is in keeping with the constitution. defending the program and keeping the shops with history status could prove very complicated cost you mouche. saffir compared our wants to pass her love for these old stores on to her daughter before it's too late. they're going to the dollar hospital a tiny shop in the heart of lisbon it was established in $830.00. but it. still cry.

when. we charge $41.00 euro is to remove the stuffing and make a new body the inpatient treatment lasts $46.00 weeks. using my infertility and. the city historian and her daughter all received by the dollar hospitals director money away in a quarterly or new person to come up to the business after the great lisbon earthquake people use what was left to rebuild the city. this building was constructed on the ruins of the royal hospital. the entrance was there. skills of life who didn't want to come out at all joints in the tiles their date from the 18th century they survived the earthquake. system which is new here seems to come from the hospital chapel which i like to say our hospital was built on top of another one. that.

we leave the consulting room and head for the operating room on the 1st floor. says i'll show you the room with a really old dolls are restored in repaired by a. book that it was the surgeon's room so. it's yes the most important specialist most of the specialists and everything. convinced as to why we have to clean and remove what others have done and then we glue everything otherwise the doll will have scars. even if the dollar isn't as perfect as at birth we have dolls here that are 200 years old. yeah log with the plant it is ok when there are people who donate their hair and we use that to make wigs for the dolls. the latest. there are pieces missing from this doll we will have to do some plastic surgery at

hearing to the high standards of restoration but lord told our forum. is not a mish cd custom made of stone. usually i have to find the right blue was there. in the receive. a lot of legs and torsos have been donated. clothes it will not. be. used. for commuting disabusing me. much other patients

just need small parts. because they. can become through everywhere i look i see something new and different i can't stop taking pictures rupert i think i'll come back with friends to show them my discovery even more. closely because if you could actually feel jealous pushed my coping life you can see oh how beautiful. my blood is from brazil about yanna we fixed her up and made new clothes based on the original. start we also found all the original necklaces she's made of fabric. white yes the body is made of fabric we copied the clothes based on the original. what's wrong with this one. this is an english doll from the 1940 s. she has to be restored and she'll be given

a new torso that. could move what's inside. the straw she can even still cry. that of which because these dolls come from poor families they're made of newspapers here you can still read the news stories in a museum the leaders of the families parents and children were newspaper sellers or paper collectors. could tell they made a mixture of paper and cobblers glue and then molded it to look like german dolls washed. me you from all their own money with necklace they're sad dolls that tell us a lot about people who didn't have very happy lives was the symmetry of the solution even if the men aren't pleased why am i reading things like this simply because he usually comes on young thing without the look there's a piece of spanish newspaper here in the army can even see the date we love 951 sequin to you.

over the years people from all over the world have gifted dolls to the museum located next to the hospital. used to be a primary school. there are $3500.00 in the museum's collection. the 2 are part of lisbon is cultural heritage.
