FIGHTING THE PANDEMIC ON THE FRONTLINE

Fighting Covid-19 on the frontline, Dr. Jorge Nunes, resident at Belas Clube de Campo since 2006, specialist in Intensive Medicine, and coordinator of the Intensive Care Unit of Lisbon’s Hospital Lusíadas, hereby gives us his testimony, of this difficult battle.

How do you describe the current pandemic we are facing?

Besides the massive effort of health systems to provide an adequate response, it further represents a great challenge to the society, not only due to the impairing economic impact, but mainly by the need to ponder the priorities set. It is also a humbling experience for all of us.

Do you think Portugal is handling this crisis well? What could be improved?

We are still on the onset of the pandemic and is, thus, very early to precisely assess our response. There was clearly a delay in implementing some initial measures, such as the control and screening of people arriving from infected areas. But, right now, we can celebrate some achievements, such as the flattening of the curve, regarding infected cases, to, thus, be able to maintain an adequate capacity of health services, as of now. And we should also be proud of the extraordinary reorganization capacity of hospitals, carried out by health professions in record time, which, along with the quality and dedication, lead to a low number of deaths, when compared to other countries.

BELAS CLUBE DE CAMPO LAUNCHES ITS 1ST REPORT ON SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE

Belas Clube de Campo has just launched its first report on Sustainability and Resilience, providing a detailed overview of the measures implemented in this domain, in terms of projects, and of new residential solutions, also stressing the main environmental milestones throughout 25 years of project development.

PROJECT MAINTENANCE AND CONSERVATION

There have been countless project maintenance and valuation works carried out in a 240.000m2 area. Highlighting some of the latest interventions centred in the repair of some speed bumps and roads, repair of sidewalks, planting of trees, upgrading of wooden fences and gates, and placement of new recycling areas/bins on Lisbon Green Valley (near plot 10 and the school).

DIGITAL TOOLS:
A LONG-TIME USED REALITY

Used, for many years, to work remotely with international clients, the new work methodologies we have all been “required” to introduce in our daily lives, for the business team of Belas Clube de Campo/Lisbon Green Valley, were not new. Virtual tours, video calls, life streaming, high-quality videos, 360º images and tours, among others, have always been present in international sales processes and are now, due to the pandemic, introduced in the national market. These tools allow to show townhouses, apartments and villas construction plots, featuring all the details, without being necessary to be present in the area per se.

TESTIMONY

		“Although I live between Brazil and Portugal, I was in France when flights began being cancelled due to the current pandemic. I managed to come to Portugal on the last available flight, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! It saved my mental health! At Belas Clube de Campo I can go hiking, take a walk, go to the market, with all safety, and nothing is lacking! Everything is extremely well organized, the Management of the project has carried out an extraordinary work! If I don’t watch TV or read the newspapers, I don’t even feel the world catastrophe that is occurring. Here I am safe and I don’t intend on returning to Brazil any time soon!”

		Rejane Bastos, Resident at Belas Clube de Campo

ALAMEDA DA FLORESTA

After 5 months of intense work dedicated to the total recovery of Alameda da Floresta, with the laying of asphalt and drainage chutes, throughout 1600 meters, the work was completed. Ongoing is the second phase of the work, a route with nearly 400 meters, being necessary to create an elevated platform to welcome the new road, according to the design project. Simultaneously, is being drafted the Landscape Design for Alameda da Floresta as a whole, including a pedestrian and cycling path with lighting on the entire route, created by Professor Sidónio Pardal.

AQUA+ PIONEERS

Belas Clube de Campo is the first entity to be awarded by ADENE – Energy Agency – with AQUA+, and the innovative index for water performance of buildings, using a pioneer methodology in Europe, intended to identify and enhance good practises in the efficient use of water resources in buildings and urbanizations. The project, thus, materializes the first certifications of this index, in all typologies of the new Lisbon Green Valley buildings – apartments and townhouses.
