Pedro Félix, president of the Movement "Future of Costa - A Better Costa da Caparica," argues that an improvement of Costa da Caparica cannot be built against the people. The official argues that defending public space and improving mobility does not mean ignoring the problems that a particular solution may create for the population.
The article warns of the existence of urban planning decisions that are measured only in square meters, projects, and drawings, but that there are also decisions that are measured in people's lives. This distinction appears to be at the heart of the criticism made by the Future Movement of Costa.
The central message of Pedro Félix's intervention appears to be an appeal for consultation and participation of citizens before making urban planning decisions that affect the local community.
