**The Minister of Infrastructure and Housing** highlighted on Tuesday that the location for Lisbon's new airport is now "absolutely defined and crystallized," allowing for territorial planning with a structural vision. Speaking at the opening of the Portuguese Road and Railway Congress in Lisbon, **Miguel Pinto Luz** emphasized the importance of integrating public policies in health, justice, and social areas when designing infrastructure to avoid exacerbating territorial imbalances and injustices.

The government has prioritized **territorial justice**, considering this vision in investments made during the legislative term. This approach is evident in the **investment in the Metropolitan Area and Lisbon**, including the **Luís Vaz de Camões Airport**, whose location is now firmly established, enabling territorial definition. Projects like the **Cidades Tejo park, the reinforcement of A12 and A13 highways, the South Tagus Metro, and the third Tagus crossing** are part of this strategy, alongside an infrastructural vision for the people moving to this area.

Pinto Luz warned against creating "ghettos with large infrastructures" that lack impact without a comprehensive vision. Similarly, in **High-Speed Rail**, efforts are being made to integrate education, linking with institutes and universities, and investing in logistical centers to ensure high-speed projects are not imposed on unprepared territories.

On **May 14, 2024**, the government approved the construction of the new Lisbon region airport at the **Campo de Tiro in Alcochete**, following the recommendation of the Independent Technical Commission (CTI).

O ministro das Infraestruturas e Habitação assegurou que o Governo teve uma preocupação com a justiça territorial, tendo tido esta visão em conta nos investimentos feitos durante a legislatura.
