NIDUM's visionary project for Marsaskala—City of 1000 Gardens—has been honoured with two prestigious accolades at the Premju Galizia Awards 2024, presented by the Kamra tal-Periti: the Architecture Vision Award and the President's Award for Best Overall Project.
Our proposal reimagines the way we inhabit our planet particularly through the way we conceive urban centres, by strengthening communities and identity, while building on our natural and ecological heritage to create more liveable, healthier, and inspiring environments.
Distinct yet connected quarters of the town will benefit from green pedestrian friendly public spaces, with residents encouraged to actively participate in Marsaskala’s transformation. Landscape, local ecology, and global environmental challenges are central to our approach to urban planning, using the natural environment’s ability to improve economic, environmental and social values for positive change.
We are grateful to the Kamra tal-Periti and the jury for this prestigious recognition and are hopeful that authorities will push forward in bringing this vision to life for the benefit of Marsaskala’s community and as a pioneer for the much needed regeneration of our towns and villages.
City of 1000 Gardens was developed in collaboration with Elisa Cristiana Cattaneo, Davide Bardini, Franck Franjou and Hilson Moran.
