The cultural landscape of Sintra and world heritage at risk

Público12 September 2026 at 00:10

The article addresses the concerns related to the new Municipal Director Plan (PDM) of Sintra-Cascais and its potential impact on the region's cultural landscape. The author, Vítor Serrão, warns that the new PDM may represent a threat to the UNESCO-classified World Heritage site.

According to the text, there is concern that the PDM could pave the way for "all sorts of real estate encroachments" in the protected area of Sintra-Cascais. This zone is known for its historical and landscape importance, being a World Heritage site since 1995.

The author appeals that the protection of this area should be considered a struggle for all Portuguese people, not just local entities. The article, marked as opinion, aims to raise awareness about the risks that inadequate urban planning can pose for one of the country's most valuable territories in terms of cultural and natural heritage.
