Three Pillars of SD in Spatial Planning

UG

Discusses principles of green urbanism as one of the fundamental dimensions of urban design, introducing basic principles to be developed further through SPI5714 at postgraduate level and also discusses basic sustainable mobility aspects as part of a wider discussion on the functional dimension of urban design.

UG

Principles of SD in Environmental and Planning Legislation

PG

As part of a broader understanding of the city scale and the urban conurbation in Malta, the study unit delves into the layers of the contemporary city, in all its complexity, with sustainable mobility featuring in its discussion of the movement layer. Discussions of other city layers enable an understanding of the complexity of mobility when interrelating with other issues such as urban structure, morphology, density, land use, environmental factors and character. Students are asked to study the Maltese conurbation with this layering in mind, enabling them to contextualise sustainable mobility issues within a broader milieu.

PG

Principles of SD in Urban Design. Governance considerations in the delivery of more sustainable environments.

PG

This study-unit in its entirety is central to understanding sustainable development as a key component of urban design and spatial planning. It critically explores sustainability concepts, principles, and indicators through a mix of lectures, seminars, and workshops, emphasizing urban ecology and sustainable urban interventions. Students engage with real-world case studies and participate in applied design research to address community needs while advancing sustainability. The unit also examines the philosophical foundations of sustainability, systems thinking, governance, and equity, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to analyze, design, and implement sustainable urban strategies.

UG

The management of natural water resources in a sustainable manner to reflect the hydrological cycle. Promotes the concept of reuse of stormwater generated by developments as close as possible to the place of origin.

UG

Design of structures to hold water generated from development for subsequent reuse. Design of sewerage systems to collect, direct and store for reuse stormwater generated from development.

UG

Further management of water resources to ensure their sustainable use through appropriate demand management. The management of solid waste generated from developments in order to reduce waste generated, resue products and recycle materials to lengthen their life cycle in the economy.

PG

The sustainable management of waste waters and solid waste to view them as a resource and not as a waste

PG

Reducing the environmental impact of development on the environment within the context of climate neutral buildings and their reduced carbon footprint.

UG

Continuous professional development programme for Infrastructure Malta's technical and administrative. staff It aims to look at the implications of mobility on a number of disciplines not least sustainable development, economics, social implications and environmental aspects.

PG

A continuous professional development programme for Infrastructure Malta's professional staff. Professionals designing mobility projects today face a number of challenges beyond the technical aspect of the project. It is even more important to consider issues such as sustainability, including economic, social and environmental issues, quality and risk as well as the engagement of the different stakeholders who have a claim to the use of the road – pedestrians, cyclists, two and four wheel vehicles, electric cars as well as commercial vehicles. This module will provide learners with an overview of these considerations and how to factor them at the earliest stage of the design process.

UG

This study unit gives a brief overview of the main principles of sustainable mobility and open space planning with a focus on adopting an integrated approach to planning as a means to sustainable development. Secondly it discusses various policy approaches in dealing with contemporary urban challenges particularly relating to, sustainable mobility and the planning of open space with a focus on urban green infrastructure as a planning approach. It also looks into local mechanisms relating to the planning of sustainable mobility and open space.

Diploma

The Diploma in Design Studies (DDs) equips students with essential visual literacy and communication skills across various disciplines such as architecture, engineering, product design, media and communications, information and communication technology, conservation, and the visual arts. With rapid urban development, sustainable design has become crucial in mitigating the negative effects of poor aesthetic and environmental decisions. Students refine their visual intelligence and spatial awareness through both theoretical and hands-on learning; the hybrid form of training in both analogue and digital media helps them be autonomous in both realms. This programme fosters creativity while integrating traditional and emerging technologies to support the evolving creative industries
