The municipality has a dynamic and winding relief, it can be seen that in the north there is a more regular topography than in the rest. Thus, in the south of Gondomar, there is greater preservation of its natural heritage. The topography becomes thus an important factor in the development of the municipality's infrastructure.

Agriculture and forest
More than half of the territory is made up of forests that are not part of the economic fabric and which, due to lack of management, are subject to a greater risk of fire. On the other hand, they are of great importance for a balance between the natural and urbanized environment. Agriculture and forestry are all over the territory, interconnecting with the culture of local residents, as an element of cohesion and union of the municipality.

The risk of fire is directly linked to the difficulty of access and the lack of land management. By preserving the environment, but designing an adequate infrastructure, it is possible to reduce this risk.
Infrastructure Network
Contorno do Edificado
É evidente o contraste entre o norte e o sul do território, uma densificada rede de edifícios na proximidade com o porto e uma diminuição dos centros urbanos no resto do município. A preocupação de fixar a população nas freguesias mais a sul surge também

The complex network of infrastructure, interconnecting water supply, connection to sanitation, electricity network, etc., is found in greater density according to the population distribution of the municipality.

Due to the fact that Gondomar has a great relationship with the city of Porto, the road network is also proof of that. The highways and national roads form a set of increasingly wider rings, passing through the Municipality of Gondomar, forming a denser road network on the border between the two neighboring Municipalities and spreading throughout the territory of Gondomar.

On the map it is possible to see how most buildings and public spaces are concentrated in the main urban centers of Gondomar. Particularly in the parishes of Rio Tinto, Baguim do Monte, Gondomar and Fânzeres, where it can be seen that the churches, together with the cemetery and in some cases the playgrounds, constitute a central core of public space.

In the Municipality of Gondomar, the hierarchy of streets is almost non-existent, and there may be main roads with a particular street character and with only one direction. This makes the flow of traffic more difficult considering that we are talking about a “dorm town”. The A43 can be highlighted as an important road linking the municipality to Porto.
