 From the 1970s onwards, the onward march of construction led to increasing numbers of new buildings, as the neighborhood became more and more dominated by high-rise construction.The increase in population was followed by the establishment of banks, schools, shops, estate agents and other services attending to the needs of the local population.Along the major roads like the Avenida da Aclimação, very few private homes have managed to survive the onslaught of the property developers.
