JPP deputy Luis Martins deemed the debate on high-rise construction in the Legislative Assembly of Madeira relevant, as the petition raises issues requiring public and well-founded discussion.
Martins highlighted the lack of evidence that high-rise construction solves housing problems and questioned the capacity of existing infrastructure. The JPP advocates for housing policies that prioritize urban rehabilitation, among other solutions.
While not fundamentally opposed to high-rise construction, the JPP insists it should be properly defined and justified, and not adopted as a general rule for the island.
