The Forum Madeira towers, when the PDM arrives too late.

An article analyzes the controversial urban planning issue of the Forum Madeira towers in Funchal, where a recent court decision confirmed the embargo of the development for non-compliance with the Municipal Master Plan. The text questions how it was possible for owners and residents to have received occupancy permits and occupied the housing for years, only to later discover urban planning legality problems. The article argues that responsibility lies with the Administration that licensed and inspected, and not on the citizens who trusted the issued permits. It emphasizes that serious urban planning should prevent before licensing, inspect before authorizing, and assume responsibilities when it errs, warning that the PDM cannot arrive too late.
