Din l-Art Helwa is asking for good sense to prevail and for the Government to rethink its policy regarding high-rise buildings in Malta. "This will have an irreversible impact on the Maltese landscape and will change it forever," says the NGO.

It added that, these massive buildings will be visible from almost the whole island and in the case of Mriehel, will rise in the direct view path between Mdina and Valletta, the two main historic features on Malta's landscape.

Din l-Art Helwa stated that before deciding on the specific projects for high-rise development which are being proposed around Malta, the Government should carry out a holistic masterplan for the entire island.
