KTP submits its Consultation Reply on the Kottonera Strategy document
The Kamra tal-Periti has submitted its feedback on the Kottonera Strategy document issued by the Cottonera Rehabilitation Committee as part of the public consultation process.
The Council of the Kamra tal-Periti welcomed the proposed Cottonera Strategy Document, which appears to have been prepared through a bottom-up approach which involved the residents, the Local Councils and the various entities which operate with the towns in the region. It is clear that this approach has led Government to have a good understanding of the problems faced by these localities, as well as to understand the various solutions which have been proposed by those who inhabit, or regularly visit, the area.
The Kamra has made four principal proposals in its consultation reply:
- Expansion of restoration grants in the Cottonera area
- The use of design competitions for the various public projects being proposed in the document to promote excellence in design
- The setting up of a Centre for Architecture and the Built Environment in the Cottonera area. Malta is indeed one of the few European countries not to have such a centre.
- Nine urban project proposals.
