| Abstract: | Malta's countryside was once regarded as uncouth and dangerous. Since independence, materialism and tourism have brought about a building boom which literally has ground up much of the countryside, covered it in new houses, tarmac and rubble and transformed old neighbourhoods. Some are beginning to view landscape as heritage and are defending it against those exploiting it as a commercial resource. The Islands' landscapes are now hotly contested. |
