A year ago, a commentary was published about the Elevador da Glória in Lisbon, stating that "Lisbon's Glória spoke for itself." The article addresses the consequences of an incident related to this famous funicular in the Portuguese capital.
The true challenge identified is not simply to rebuild the Elevador da Glória, which is an iconic heritage site in the city. The central issue relates to the need to ensure that the incident left a sufficiently deep mark on collective memory.
The broader objective is to change the way Lisbon approaches safety, using this experience as a catalyst for transformation in the city's safety mindset and practices.
