Kottonera Strategy Document
3 Strategy for Cottonera Foreword The unprecedented results achieved in last years have placed Malta in a position to focus on what is best for the future of our country. The sustained and strong economic performance enables the Maltese Islands to now address the challenges not only of present, but also upcoming, generations. Upgrading infrastructure, in its very wide sense, is a main pillar of Government’s vision to improve the quality of life of our people today, and in the many years to come. Creating modern facilities, improving the natural environment and investing in communities is paramount for a nation which is advancing with a faster pace than any other European member state. Following the conclusion of the Strategy for Valletta, Government is prioritizing Cottonera. While the urban environment in this region has improved significantly over the past years through a number of key projects, I believe it is time to take the next Dr Joseph Muscat leap forward. Prime Minister Meaningful regeneration is what we are after. The Three Cities and Kalkara are blessed with a rich, diverse cultural patrimony which provides a context for positive change. The first and foremost priority of the Cottonera Strategy is to strenghten the socio-economic development of its people. It provides a supportive, flexible and proactive framework, based on measures which seek to notch up standards. Better surroundings will make Cottonera more attractive for business, hence creating more career opportunities. Improved social infrastructure, such as upgraded health, education and recreation facilities, will encourage inclusion, support diversity and create sustainable communities. Refined heritage assets will result in more open spaces and attractions which do justice to the historical uniqueness of Cottonera.

THE HIERARCHY of MALTESE TOWNS Andre Zammit
THE HIERARCHY OF MALTESE TOWNS Andre Zammit HE settlement pattern in any country evolves in response to economic, T social, cultural, environmental, and other factors and has to be guided so as to help attain the planning goals and objectives in the best possible way. Among the fundamental aspects of the settlement pattern are location and hierarchial distribution, which is what this article is about. Theoretical Basis In the good old days of straightforward agricultural economies these aspects were unconsciously looked after by natural and largely intuitive measures and decisions. A simple system of hamlets, villages, towns, and cities evolved naturally, reflecting the fertility of the earth and the basic exigencies of transport, defence, and commerce. With the infinitely more complex present-day economies, technological progress, socio-cultural aspirations, increased affluence, and lesiure, to mention only a few of the factors involved, the planning problems have escalated and the difficulties have often been compounded by long periods of laissez faire and wrong decisions. The hierarchy should reflect a pyramidal system of urban and social services and facilities with the highest at the vertex. Among the pioneers in the study of the hierarchy of settlements were Christaller, Losch, Auerbach, and Lotka and more recently Doxiadis, Isbary, Parr, and Cori. Christaller's Central Places (Zentraie Orte) Theory and Doxiadis's Ekistic Scale are well-known milestones but recently the Rank Size Rule (RSR) has been widely used in the analysis of settlement patterns. In applying theories evolved in the broader contexts of large countries to a small island like Malta one must bear in mind that the relevance becomes relative.
