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 in the future:
850 apartment buildings 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 buildings 7 to 9 stories high,
3 hotels and commercial areas which will reduce the 540,000 m2 of green area to a strip with less than 100,000 m2. Of those, about 20,000 m2 are located on the other side of a road going across the Quinta and 80,000 m2 include the stream bed as well as leisure and sports equipment such as playgrounds, pathways 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 Comércio in Lisbon.
