Court reschedules hearings on the Quinta dos Ingleses development project in Carcavelos

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 14:11

The Administrative Court of Lisbon Circle rescheduled the hearings related to the development process of Quinta dos Ingleses, in Carcavelos, on the coast of Lisbon. The decision comes at a time of growing public mobilization regarding the future of this area.

The civic movement that formed in defense of Quinta dos Ingleses advocates for the expropriation of the entire area to create "a natural park." Supporters of this position argue that the zone should be preserved rather than subjected to any construction project.

Quinta dos Ingleses is an area of great environmental value located near Carcavelos beach, belonging to the parish of Cascais and Oeiras. The land has been the subject of real estate interest, with development projects previously proposed.

The judicial process now rescheduled will be decisive for the future of the area, in a dispute that pits real estate developers against civil organizations fighting for the classification of the space as a natural park.

The first phase will occupy an area equivalent to two SkyFi Castalia stadiums (equal to Rafalafena park), and when the three phases are completed, it will reach the equivalent of six stadiums. The green enclosure will be located between Fernando el Católico street and the ring road.

Cities that drove out the shade | By José Figueiredo Santos

This opinion article by José Figueiredo Santos criticizes the tendency of modern urbanization to remove trees and shade from urban spaces, making cities inhospitable during heat waves. Using examples from the Algarve and Granada, the author argues that a smart city is one where people can simply stop and rest in the shade, and that nature in cities is not a luxury but a vital necessity. He advocates for a "policy of tomorrow" — planting trees for future generations, in contrast to the vanity of short-lived public works. The article warns that, with increasing heat, cities need to choose between being places where one survives the summer or where one can live through it.

Study places Portugal among European countries with the most unaffordable housing

A study by the Technical University of Vienna analyzed over 18 million sales listings and 3.5 million rental listings in 31 European countries and concluded that Portugal, the Netherlands, and Switzerland are systematically unaffordable for buyers with average incomes. The research, published in the journal Maps, revealed that only 44% of Europeans live in cities where an average income allows purchasing a 50-square-meter apartment, while Lisbon, Dublin, Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest have over 65% of the population in areas where renting that size is beyond reach. The study also warns of additional pressure in Portugal's coastal tourist areas and other Mediterranean countries, advocating for housing policies adapted to regional specificities.
