It was on the 11th of March that the ITC published the final report of the strategic environmental assessment of the new airport, maintaining the recommendation of a single solution in Alcochete, the most advantageous, or Vendas Novas, also pointing out that Humberto Delgado + Santarém could be a transitional solution. For the Prime Minister, the option for a single airport is the "most appropriate solution for the country's strategic interests." "Alcochete, in particular, ensures physical expansion margin, accommodation of demand up to practically three times the current one, and safeguards the maintenance and possible growth of TAP's hub in Portugal," defended Luís Montenegro. The construction of the new airport in the capital – as well as the associated investment – will be the responsibility of the concessionaire ANA. The Government will not burden the State Budget "with a single euro" for the development of the airport in Alcochete, said Miguel Pinto Luz, Minister of Infrastructure and Housing. The estimated construction cost by the ITC was around 6.1 billion euros, but the Government admits that the investment is expected to be higher. Getty imagesTAP, ANA, and local leaders applaud the decisionUpon learning of the Government's decision, the mayor of Alcochete, Fernando Pinto, said he was "pleased because, although not within Alcochete's territory, considering the proximity of the town of Alcochete to the epicentre of all decisions, I understand that the impact from this investment is positive for my town and my people." In turn, the mayor of Benavente, Carlos Coutinho, assured that the municipality "is prepared and available" to host the new airport in the Lisbon region and "serve the country's interests." "For the Benavente region, it is certainly good news because it will ensure development and improve the living conditions of our population [...] and we are prepared to receive such a facility," said the mayor of Benavente in statements to Lusa. In turn, ANA Airports says it is ready to immediately work on the Government's decision to proceed with an airport in Alcochete and to increase Portela's capacity until the new infrastructure is operational. Thus, ANA guaranteed that it "will follow up on the development process of this decision, according to the Concession Agreement." Also, Pedro Nuno Santos, the General Secretary of the PS (Socialist Party), welcomed the Government's decision, considering that "Alcochete was the best location." And he notes "the unequivocal support of the PS" for being able to move forward with the solution in Alcochete. "The support of the PS was important to ensure this stability over time so that we do not go back," said Pedro Nuno Santos, recalling that Portugal has been "waiting for over 50 years to decide on the airport's location." Getty imagesWhat does the future hold for Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport?For now, Humberto Delgado Airport is set to undergo interventions to increase its capacity. The Government has outlined a plan for works at Portela Airport, "which includes investments postponed for the qualification of already provided services and adds investments to allow greater operational capacity in movements per hour," as stated in a note published on the official Government website. However, once the new Alcochete airport starts operating in 2034, this infrastructure is expected to be dismantled. In this regard, the Minister of Infrastructure and Housing promised to assess with local authorities, associations, and even residents ways to reuse the land currently occupied by Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon. "These grounds, without a doubt, need to be decontaminated: there was an airport infrastructure that worked there for almost a century, but it is possible, we will find, together with the local authorities of the region, with the central State, with various associations, with residents of the surrounding area, a way to reuse that space," he assured. Miguel Pinto Luz also argued that, "in close dialogue with the Lisbon City Council, the Portuguese State, the various ministries, a new centrality" could be developed in the Portela lands where Humberto Delgado Airport is currently located. Carnation Revolution: Portugal's Freedom Day On 25th April Portugal underwent a fundamental transformation known as the Carnation Revolution This pivotal event marked the end of the Estado Novo dictatorship and the start of Portugal's path to democracy The day is celebrated annually as Freedom Day to honour this peaceful transition and the newfound era of freedom and democracy Another step has been taken towards a new airport for Lisbon with a preferred location emerging from a new technical report The new analysis of the pros and cons of various proposed sites for the infrastructure project comes from the Independent Technical Commission (CTI) The options up for discussion included single site and dual-hub solutions and all were weighed up against criteria ranging from location as the candidate is being dubbed (though it does not sit in the municipality of Alcochete but rather in Samora Correia in Benavente) is on the eastern side of the Tagus River They both could cost close to 10 billion euros estimates the CTI (9.9 and 9.7 billion euros respectively) So why has the most expensive come out top overall Alcochete comes out of the comparison exercise top overall thanks to its rating on a number of factors other than cost. As a dual-hub with Lisbon, Alcochete comes second in the race to get an operational runway (seven years). As a single hub, Alcochete comes first, with a timeframe of eight years – sharing that number one spot with Santarém Santarém however is restricted by the military areas that lies to its west where NATO military exercises are held,” explained Professor Rosário Macário “The approach and take-off areas will enter the Monte Real block zone It is not viable from a safety point of view it is a big risk to have planes in the airspace at completely different speeds.” Another plus for Alocochete is that it “is public land” and therefore “does not require expropriations” The Alcochete option also hit the number one spot for the points it scored on human health and environmental viability factors and could be one of the fastest to see a new runway completed (six years) However CTI points out that any capacity added would be short term 30 working days of public consultation will now follow Essential cookies enable basic functions and are necessary for the proper function of the website

research into a material to cut embodied carbon There is increasing evidence and recognition that our planet is in a biodiversity loss and climate emergency The construction and inhabitation of architecture makes a significant contribution to the damage that we are causing to life on our planet The environmental impacts of any particular work of architecture can be determined and reduced by using a lifecycle approach addressing each stage of a building’s creation This approach is not often used in the UK at present with design and regulatory efforts over the last couple of decades focussing mainly on reducing operational energy and associated gas emissions Areas receiving far less attention include reducing embodied carbon and biodiversity impacts in construction materials simplifying construction to reduce unmanageable complexity during building and in use and design for disassembly to enable resource reuse there is significant scope to improve the environmental performance of our architecture by a process of incremental improvements evolving existing systems and practices with consideration of environmental performance at each stage of a building’s life developments in engineered plant-based materials and digital design and fabrication workflows are creating opportunities to develop radically new forms of construction The question therefore arises as to what might be achieved by researching and developing new forms of construction using environmental sustainability first principles as the starting point The aim of this research was to develop a radically simple new form of plant-based construction composed of engineered timber and pure expanded cork made of waste from Mediterranean cork oak forestry Using these materials locks in atmospheric carbon for the life of the building component and also helps to secure the biodiverse landscapes from which the cork is harvested Research questions included five key considerations how might a new form of construction developed from environmental sustainability first principles manifest itself how much material and constructional complexity can be stripped out of a form of construction while still meeting building codes?  Can solid expanded cork be used to form a weathertight structural building envelope Can cork blocks be used in a viable dry-jointed form of construction with easy assembly and simple disassembly at the building’s end of life what might be the whole life performance of such a simple form of solid cork construction The key aim was to research and develop a radically simple solid cork and timber construction kit The design hypothesis for the system considered the relationship between material components and resultant architectural forms Technical performance was developed using cycles of ‘hypothesis rethink’ to address matters including structure and in 2018 the system was sufficiently developed and de-risked to proceed with the first pilot project Key outcomes of the research include the development of the Cork Construction Kit and the creation of Cork House Simple assembly and disassembly have been demonstrated extensive lab testing data gives a fuller technical characterisation of expanded cork in construction The house has exceptionally low whole life carbon estimated at 618kgCO2e/m2 by an assessment to BS EN 15978 undertaken by Sturgis Carbon Profiling Embodied carbon at practical completion is estimated as negative The research has a simple overarching narrative that is easily understood and may be enjoyed by anybody giving it relatively broad interest and relevance Cork House has received several design awards including the 2019 Stephen Lawrence Prize and reached the 2019 RIBA Stirling Prizeshortlist which helped bring aspects of the research to an international audience Post occupancy evaluation of the house has begun and the authors plan further research and development of the Cork Construction Kit potentially to making the system commercially available We are also undertaking broader research of simple informed by sustainability considerations at each stage of the building’s life We call this

because violence was avoided. The Portuguese revolution influenced other revolutions in countries, such as Spain, Venezuela or Brazil, and had the power to end the dictatorship and give Portugal reasons to think about a future in which it could fly. Today the Portuguese live in freedom thanks to the courage of a group of brave soldiers and captains. No. An attempted coup d’État took place on March 16, 1974. On that day, a military column left the Caldas da Rainha regiment bound to Lisbon, accompanied by the Lamego, Mafra and Vendas Novas regiments. But a rebellion in Lamego made the rest unwilling to take any chances and the mission was aborted, while the military arrived in Santarém. After returning to Caldas da Rainha, the military were arrested. A few years before the revolution, Portugal started a colonial war and the Government showed no intention of bringing its troops back, whilst the military did not want to continue to go to Africa to fight a war they did not believe in. Then, the Armed Forces Movement was created, no more than a group of soldiers clandestinely considering a way to end the dictatorship.

However a book published in 2008, Carlucci vs. Kissinger – The USA and the Portuguese Revolution by Bernardino Gomes and Tiago Moreira de Sá showed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was attentive to the movements of the Portuguese military and the possibility of a revolution In the same book it is also shown that the Americans knew of the imminence of the revolution the United States Ambassador in Portugal in 1975 Carlucci declared that any action would have been to help the victory of the democratic forces Campo de Tiro de Alcochete and Vendas Novas are the most expensive locations among the different strategic options for the new Lisbon airport According to Jornal Economico both options for the new Lisbon Airport cost more than 9 billion euros according to the Independent Technical Commission (CTI) with Alcochete costing 9.9 billion euros and Vendas Novas at 9.7 billion The two most expensive are also those chosen by CTI as the two best locations with Campo de Tiro de Alcochete leading the way which also has a value above 9 billion euros at 9.55 billion The option for a hub in Montijo would cost 8 billion euros the most expensive would be Lisbon airport and Alcochete at 8.2 billion euros This is followed by Lisbon and Vendas Novas at 8.1 billion and Lisbon and Santarém 8.1 billion the option that would be most affordable is Lisbon and Montijo at 3.8 billion euros CTI highlights that this option would be saturated in 2038 which would require a new airport construction process in the medium term CTI also looked into the number of years it would take to complete the first runway The Lisbon and Montijo option would be the fastest as they affirmed it would take six years for the first runway to be made available The Lisbon + Alcochete option follows with seven years The Alcochete option would take eight years with the Santarém option taking eight years three options would take a total of nine years each: Montijo and Lisbon Alcochete leads in several ways from aeronautical safety (Alcochete and Vendas Novas) accessibility and territory to Lisbon and Montijo and Lisboa and Alcochete for human health and environmental viability: Vendas Novas Alcochete lead the way; in connectivity and economic development: Lisbon and Alcochete Lisbon and Vendas Novas/Lisbon and Santarém and the best option in terms of public investment and financing goes to Lisbon and Alcochete Lisbon and Vendas Novas/Lisbon and Santarém Comparing the two options that were best classified in the evaluation the CTI points out that both the Alcochete Shooting Range and Vendas Novas are “two options with equivalent merit from an airport and aeronautical point of view without major restrictions from an aeronautical point of view” Alcochete “is public land and does not require expropriations” expropriations would be necessary and the Alcochete Shooting Range would have to be closed as it could not be operational with flights in Vendas Novas “It is not possible to have air operations in Vendas Novas and maintain the Alcochete Shooting Field,” said Professor Rosário Macário during the presentation of the conclusions of the group of independent experts he pointed out that the airport would be saturated in 2038 forcing the search for a new airport solution in the medium term he pointed out that the existence of military areas on the west side of this option is a difficult issue to resolve The approach and take-off areas will enter the Monte Real block zone it is a big risk to have planes in the airspace at completely different speeds” Related article: New Lisbon airport options Portugal - December 2017 - During the Christmas holidays the Councilor for the East Asia-Oceania Region and the Provincial of the Salesians of Portugal visited the community of Evora where several Salesians originally from the Vice Province of Indonesia-East Timor (ITM) have been welcomed and accompanied through the years There are currently nine ITM Salesians in Portugal: two trainees ANS - “Agenzia iNfo Salesiana” is a on-line almost daily publication the communication agency of the Salesian Congregation enrolled in the Press Register of the Tibunal of Rome as n 153/2007 This site also uses third-party cookies to improve user experience and for statistical purposes By scrolling through this page or by clicking on any of its elements Portugal – January 2019 – The 10th National Assembly of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) was held on 12 January and saw some 50 young people from various Salesian Houses take part The meeting began with a presentation of the challenges to which the SYM Council has responded over the past three years development of local structures and the SYM National Council;

No relatório final apresentado em Março esta comissão apresentava possíveis soluções para a expansão da capacidade aeroportuária de Lisboa mas defendia Alcochete e Vendas Novas como as "mais favoráveis em termos globais" tendo em conta os vários critérios em análise que vão dos factores económicos e financeiros aos ambientais a implementação de uma solução de transição com a manutenção do Aeroporto Humberto Delgado até ao funcionamento de um único aeroporto em Alcochete quando estiverem prontas as duas pistas nesta localização (número mínimo considerado viável pela CTI) E será precisamente essa a opção agora escolhida "O Governo assume o aeroporto único como a solução mais adequada" na conferência de imprensa em que foi anunciada a decisão de construir o novo aeroporto em Alcochete fundamentada e é estratégica para o futuro de Portugal" São apresentadas quatro justificações para a escolha de Alcochete em detrimento de Vendas Novas: Alcochete localiza-se inteiramente em terrenos públicos enquanto a opção por Vendas Novas implicaria expropriações; Alcochete já teve uma declaração de impacte ambiental favorável ainda que esta já esteja caducada; tem maior proximidade ao centro de Lisboa do que Vendas Novas; e está mais próximo das principais vias rodoviárias e ferroviárias permitindo descentralizar o tráfego do centro de Lisboa A justificar a opção por Alcochete está a possibilidade que esta localização oferece de uma expansão para lá das duas pistas previstas inicialmente como aquele que está a ser antecipado de crescimento exponencial da procura nos próximos anos a procura aérea para Lisboa seja já cerca do triplo daquilo que é hoje a região poderá movimentar mais de 100 milhões de passageiros por ano há alguns próximos passos "imediatos": o primeiro será o pedido de preparação de candidatura ao novo aeroporto de Lisboa que o Governo apresentará à ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal a empresa que detém a concessão dos aeroportos nacionais Segue-se a elaboração de um relatório inicial que incluirá um relatório das consultas relatório sobre local seleccionado e estudo de impacte ambiental relatório técnico e relatório financeiro Só terminado esse processo é que poderão arrancar as obras razão pela qual o Governo tem perspectivas diferentes das que constam do relatório final da CTI optando pela solução de um aeroporto único em Alcochete a primeira pista fique concluída em 2030 com um custo de 3231 milhões de euros enquanto a segunda pista ficaria concluída em 2031 com um custo de 2874 milhões de euros O custo total estimado pela CTI para a construção de duas pistas ronda Já o Governo tem perspectivas diferentes Como explicou o ministro das Infra-estruturas e da Habitação em conferência de imprensa nesta terça-feira "estes valores podem não ser realistas" uma vez que foram calculados com base em pressupostos e custos de 2009 actualizados à inflação a ANA apontou para que a construção do novo aeroporto implicasse um investimento de oito a nove mil milhões de euros "Acreditamos que o valor real poderá estar entre estes dois montantes razão pela qual vamos fazer os estudos" Sobre os prazos de construção o ministro destaca que o Governo prevê que a obra só estará pronta dentro de dez a quinze anos "Podemos estar a falar de 46 meses só para a apresentação da candidatura são precisos estudos de impacte ambiental É impossível construir um projecto desta magnitude de forma mais rápida acreditamos que não é possível concluir esta obra em sete anos Acresce, ainda, o facto de que este valor apenas tem em conta as obras em Alcochete e não o investimento que também terá de ser feito no Aeroporto Humberto Delgado para aumentar a sua capacidade até à abertura do novo aeroporto o Humberto Delgado registou uma média de 38 movimentos por hora num total de 33,6 milhões de passageiros durante o conjunto do ano O objectivo do Governo é avançar para uma expansão que permita 45 movimentos por hora (com dois movimentos extra por hora provenientes do tráfego de Cascais) num total de 40 a 45 milhões de passageiros por ano Para além da expansão do Humberto Delgado, o Governo compromete-se, ainda, a antecipar a conclusão da ligação ferroviária de alta velocidade entre Lisboa e Madrid incluindo a construção de uma terceira travessia do Tejo de forma a desviar uma parte da procura aérea de Lisboa para outras vias Com uma assinatura PÚBLICO tem acesso ilimitado a todos os conteúdos e cancela quando quiser Escolha um dos seguintes tópicos para criar um grupo no Fórum Público tornar-se-à administrador e será responsável pela moderação desse grupo Os jornalistas do PÚBLICO poderão sempre intervir Saiba mais sobre o Fórum Público receberá um email sempre que forem feitas novas publicações neste grupo de discussão Estes são os autores e tópicos que escolheu seguir Pode activar ou desactivar as notificações Receba notificações quando publicamos um texto deste autor ou sobre os temas deste artigo
