Coimbra City Council wants to approve 277 homes in Celas but residents say "no way"

Notícias de Coimbra6 September 2026 at 17:44

The Coimbra City Council intends to approve the construction of 277 housing units behind the School in Celas, through an amendment to the land subdivision operation planned for that area of the city.

A group of residents and interested citizens formally submitted a contestation against this urban development project, expressing their opposition to the municipal plan.

Residents have been forceful in their rejection of the proposed development, expressing their position with phrases like "not even think about it" regarding the approval of this number of dwellings.

The affected area is located behind the School in Celas, an area that has been subject to changes in terms of municipal urban planning.
