    Malta comitted to health

    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 early 2014 URBACT launched a suite of pilot transfer networks to explore a new way to support peer-to-peer learning amongst cities. The aim was to test the feasibility of a new type of URBACT network, built around the potential transfer of an established example of effective city practice or policy.
