This continuity is promoted whenever possible through afforested routes, recurring to plantation of trees in alignment or punctually in centre areas through unique plantations in squares and largos.
Public Space – Plant fruit trees – orange trees, mulberry tree, romãzeiras, cherry trees, olive trees – in the public space in order to create shadow areas for esplanades and living areas.

Market Ground– Define a new Multiuse space in the Mercado Municipal’s parking space. This new ground has a large free and available area in the interior and its perimeter where large tree will be planted.
The market space should be functioning with the mounting of the structures of the stands and awnings. Thus, it will be necessary to develop a design of modules that can be mounted and dismounted. This design should be defined with the Câmara Municipal de Loures.

For the implementation of this emergengy route it is necessary to reinforce the pavement base and the sidewalk’s pavement thickness to avoid damages when the fire engines pass.
