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.
