The district of Viseu is a Portuguese district belonging to the traditional province of Beira Alta. It borders on the north with the district of Porto, the district of Vila Real, and the district of Bragança, on the east with the district of Guarda, on the south with the district of Coimbra, and on the west with the district of Aveiro. It has an area of 5,007 km² (9th largest Portuguese district) and a resident population of 391 215 inhabitants (2009). The district seat is the city with the same name.
The district of Viseu has almost 15 thousand companies and many of them work in partnership, which strengthens the local industry. In recent years, communication channels, such as the A24 and A25, have further expanded the export horizon.
The district of Viseu is the bridge between the coast and the interior, the first being more developed by the greater existence of industry and by the greater population density and the second desertified and isolated, becoming more and more as the degree of interiority goes increasing.
The vast majority of municipalities in the district of Viseu belong to the aging and economically depressed territories: here include Resende, Carregal do Sal, Castro Daire, Mangualde, Nelas, Oliveira de Frades, Penalva do Castelo, São Pedro do Sul, Sátão, Vila Nova de Paiva and Vouzela, Lamego, Moimenta da Beira, Penedono, São João da Pesqueira, Sernancelhe, Tabuaço, and Tarouca. These territories are marked “essentially by traits of rurality, in which the population lives in centers with less than 5000 inhabitants, is aged, the weight of agriculture in the employment structure is still relevant, the qualifications of the population are deficient. Infrastructure at the telecommunications level is deficient.
In this case, the municipalities of Mangualde, Nelas, Penalva do Castelo,
Sátão and Vouzela are exceptions as far as industry is concerned, since the industry has a significant role in the employment structure, although rurality continues to prevail. Aging corresponds to gradual desertification.
