Urban Planning Concept Award Winner 2022 – Architects

City of 1000 Gardens: A Community Spirited Regeneration

Nidum

This inspirational urban planning concept seeks to recover community spirit in Marsaskala by rethinking its physical organisation, revitalising its attractions and reinforcing its connection to the abundant natural heritage. The proposals envisage the reorganisation of the town into distinct yet connected community centres; quarters, that respect the town’s origins and geophysical characteristics and social fabric.  By putting forward an integrated approach to urban planning, it is indeed a crucial example to be followed elsewhere in Malta’s town and villages.
