The Youth Social Democratic Party (JSD) of Funchal launched its innovative project, Think Space, on January 28, with a focus on mobility and urban development. This initiative aims to engage young people in the political processes of their city through practical and informed participation.
Held at the Regional Headquarters of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Madeira, the event tackled issues of sustainability, accessibility, urban planning, and innovation. These topics are critical for the future development of Funchal, a city known for its picturesque landscapes and vital tourism industry.
The event's goal is to provide a platform for young citizens to discuss and influence decisions that impact their daily lives, particularly in areas related to transportation and urban infrastructure. By fostering a participatory approach, JSD Funchal hopes to inspire more young people to become involved in local governance and contribute to the city's sustainable development.
Mobility, a key challenge in Funchal due to its steep terrain and narrow streets, was a central theme of the discussions. The Think Space event emphasized the need for innovative solutions to improve public transport and pedestrian accessibility, ensuring that the city remains both a pleasant place to live and an attractive destination for visitors.
