Everything you need to know about ATLAS reports and its territorial analysis.
How does Atlas work?
ATLAS combines urban planning, territorial and regulatory information to provide a structured assessment of a site's potential.
The platform integrates multiple sources of information, including municipal systems, planning regulations, cartography and territorial constraints, bringing together data that is typically scattered across different sources and difficult to interpret.
Its purpose is to support a faster and clearer initial assessment of a site before investment, sale, development or design decisions are made.
Does Atlas cover all municipalities?
ATLAS is currently available for selected municipalities, with different levels of territorial integration.
At this stage, automatic reports are available for:
Lisbon · Porto · Sintra · Cascais · Matosinhos · Setúbal · Lagos · Beja · Aljezur · Alcácer do Sal · Leiria · Loures · Montijo · Moita · Oeiras
For the remaining municipalities, reports may require additional analysis and have a delivery time of up to 3 business days.
ATLAS coverage will continue to expand progressively.
When will I receive my report?
For municipalities with automatic integration, reports are typically available within 10 minutes of payment confirmation.
For municipalities that still require additional analysis, delivery may take up to 3 business days, depending on the availability and complexity of the territorial information.
In specific cases, our team may contact you to request additional information or clarification.

Does Atlas replace a PIP or project?
No.
ATLAS is a territorial decision-support tool and does not replace formal processes such as a PIP, licensing procedures, project development, or specific technical validations.
Its purpose is to support a preliminary assessment of the territory before moving on to more complex technical and administrative stages.
What information do I need to request a report?
To generate a report, simply identify the site by:
Address
Selecting its location on the map
Drawing the site's boundary
Once the information has been submitted and confirmed, the system begins the territorial analysis.
Are Atlas reports reliable?
ATLAS reports are based on official public information available at the time of the analysis.
The system uses territorial intelligence technology and a methodology developed by Segmento Urbano to organise and interpret planning and territorial information.
The reliability of the analysis depends on the accuracy, quality and availability of the information provided by the competent authorities. The report is intended for indicative and interpretative purposes only and does not replace specific technical, legal or planning validation.
Before making investment, development or licensing decisions, additional validation with the appropriate authorities and technical teams is recommended.
Please refer to the disclaimer available on the ATLAS website.
Are the reports available in other languages?
ATLAS is currently available in Portuguese.
Additional languages may be introduced over time.
