Lisbon: PCP moves to halt public auction of ten municipal plots
The Communist Party (PCP) has proposed the suspension and annulment of a July decision to auction ten municipal plots in Lisbon, arguing they should instead be used for affordable housing projects. Separately, the City Council announced on 28 October that it reached an agreement with the Sociedade Gestora da Alta de Lisboa (SGAL) to retain other municipal plots with high housing potential for affordable housing projects, representing over 71,500 square metres of construction capacity.
Why it matters
While the auction proposal remains a political debate, the city's separate decision to designate other plots for affordable housing signals potential new residential development, though it does not yet provide specific application timelines or eligibility criteria for residents.Diário de NotíciasRead original ↗
