An area of land, previously planned to be developed into a dormitory for the American University of Malta and currently used as a parking area, is set to be converted into an open green space for the local community.
The public space will reportedly offer a number of facilities, including a picnic area, parkour space, swing set, outdoor gym and garden, together with three storeys of underground parking. The parking will accommodate around 220 cars, a substantial increase compared to the current parking.
In a recent statement, the Project Green agency discussed the space’s different facilities in a recent consultation meeting attended by Bormla residents, business owners and various stakeholders.
The open space was designed to not only incorporate the public’s desires into the area, but also complement Bormla’s history and characteristics. Before the First World War, this same space was used as a market and was surrounded by arches, which arches will return in an attempt to revitalise Bormla’s history.
What do you make of this?
