Over the past months San Lawrenz Local Council has been preparing a study on the locality that looks into ways how, in the near future, the locality can become a sustainable one.
The residents of San Lawrenz played an important role in this study by filling in a questionnaire that helped reflect a complete and more realistic study.
The report, which was one of many not only from Gozo and Malta, but across Europe, was sent to the European Commission to be analyzed on the way that San Lawrenz are preparing to make this a sustainable locality.
The San Lawrenz Local Council’s report was chosen as one of the most important studies in Europe. Although not a city it was included with cities chosen, Munich, Dusseldorf, Bordeaux, Newcastle, Malaga, Warsaw, Rotterdam and Genk.
Now the European Commission will engage a company of experts who will provide their technical tools so that tests will be made to determine how this report could serve as an example for other towns and cities. The inauguration of this process will be held between the 15th and 16th of March, in Brussels where the aims and the structure of the framework for the sustainable cities will be explained.
