On 6 May at 3pm, the Electric Car Museum will host a talk entitled ‘A bridge is going to appear here. Now what? How can we predict its effects on the heritage of the Massarelos Valley?’, with researcher Pedro Murilo Freitas (CEAU-FAUP).

During the talk, Pedro Murilo Freitas will present a Heritage Impact Analysis carried out by the UNESCO Chair ‘Heritage Cities and Landscapes’. Sustainable Management, Conservation, Planning and Design’. The study focuses on the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto - classified as a national monument since 2023 - and serves as a starting point for reflecting on the effects that the new infrastructure could have on the heritage, urban and social context of the valley
