HELP US SAVE QUINTA DOS
INGLESES IN CARCAVELOS
Quinta dos Ingleses is at risk of being destroyed to make way for a mega property development. The population is in favor of preserving this last green lung on the Estoril coastline so that it can become an extensive urban park where nature and history come together for the benefit of the community and the environment.

What might happen:
850 apartment blocks ranging from 7 to 9 stories
3 hotels and commercial areas
Destruction of 52 ha of green area
The PPERUCS implies the construction of 850 apartments in 7 to 9 stories high buildings, 3 hotels and commercial areas which will reduce the 540.000m2 green area to a strip with less than 100.000m2, of which about 20.0002 are in the other side of the road and 80.0002 include the stream bed and leisure and sports equipment such as playgrounds, walks and parking. In reality, the green area will be reduced to a mere small garden surrounded by a wall of tall buildings the size of 12 Praças do Comercio of Lisbon.
