Urban regeneration project

This urban regeneration project consists in the transformation of a storm water culvert, an extensive area of grey cement, located in Qormi district, into a contemporary urban park with multifunctional uses: relax, socialization, events, sport, play.

The idea is to turn this space into an integral and “lived” part of the neighbourhood, that could be used by citizens of all ages, without removing its original hydraulic functions as a flood culvert: all the elements are simple and designed to be occasionally flooded, requiring low maintenance.

The park will be easily accessible to everybody, thanks to new ramps and staircases; this lively chromatic floor can be walked along its entire length. A new raised pathway on the street level, together with some food courts, make the area even more suitable for pedestrian accesses.

The greenery will be increased, with local endemic species and recycled and recyclable materials will be used limiting the impact on the environment.
