Malta comitted to health

One of the Healthy Cities partner is the Planning Authority of Malta.

As a non-city partner, the Maltese Planning Authority is representing the Republic of Malta and participating as a Member State of the EU, rather than a city. The Republic of Malta is composed of an archipelago of islands, the three principal ones being Malta, Gozo and Comino. The capital city of the islands, Valletta, is a peninsula at the centre of Malta’s Principal Urban Area as defined in the nation’s highest spatial planning instrument – the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development.

The Planning Authority will be able to apply the lessons learned from its participation in the network to the urban planning of the entire archipelago.

In this conversation, the project representatives explain their motivations and expectations in relation to the Healthy Cities network.
