The strategic council

The Strategic Council is a project to upgrade the Municipal Government of Sintra (PT) with action in two areas: Business and the Environment. Launched in 2014, it involves the mayor, relevant companies, trade union forces, associations of Sintra and the Ministry of Environment. The Business axis analyses the economic and social situation from the perspective of companies and employers, proposing appropriate measures to solve identified problems. The Environmental axis guarantees cooperation between the Municipality of Sintra and the Environment Ministry to tackle matters of environmental management, urban planning and requalification.The Strategic Council is a good practice both for the Municipality of Sintra and the country as a whole. It promotes the development of socio-economic growth - especially during the country's current period of crises - and enhances natural heritage, involving in this process key stakeholders and society in general.
