  Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

  The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
  The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
  The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
  It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.

  The Blessed Angela of Foligno, T.O.S.F., (c. 1248 – 4 January 1309) was a Christian author, Franciscan tertiary and mystic. She was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to accept becoming an enclosed religious order that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. The Divine Consolation is divided into three treatises. In the first, Blessed Angela talks about her conversion. The second is her teachings. And in the third treatise, she shares her visions of Consolation, the Passion of Christ, the Sacrament of the Altar, and of the Blessed Virgin Mary.(Summary by Wikipedia and Ann Boulais)

  'It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'
  
  Considered as the foundation of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin's groundbreaking On the Origin of Species profoundly transformed the field of biology at the time, as well as contemporary religious beliefs.
  
  First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species presents Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin argues that species evolve over time; individuals with superior traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. These favourable traits become more common in subsequent generations, leading to the gradual development of a new species. Darwin draws upon extensive evidence from biology, geology and the animal kingdom to support his theory, challenging the idea that species are fixed and unchanging. Revolutionary in its influence, On the Origin of Species laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology. This audiobook edition is skilfully narrated by Mark Elstob.
  Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English biologist, naturalist and geologist. Initially studying medicine and theology, Darwin became drawn to natural science, wherein he developed the pioneering theory of evolution via natural selection. He remains a hugely respected figure in science to this day.
