Transport Malta : the first ten years

Abstract

This book commemorates the first ten years of Transport Malta, the Authority which, since 2010, plans, develops, implements and regulates transport infrastructure and services in Malta and Gozo, in collaboration with a multitude of stakeholders in the air, maritime and land transport sectors. The book's discussion draws on the testimonials of current and former officers of the Authority and of its predecessor entities, and on a broad range of secondary sources used to complement or corroborate the thematic discussion of the book. The chapters' discussion synthesises Transport Malta and Malta's transport development as small when compared to transport in larger countries, yet profusely connected; responsive to the signs of the times; devoted to capacity-building and legacy-building; and committed to enhance sustainable deployment of current and emergent technologies. The text is brought to life with exceptional and often exclusive photographic testimony. Irrespective of readers' pre-existing familiarity with transport, Transport Malta and the history of transport in Malta, this book invites readers to discern or rediscover the momentous, significant, yet often less visible or unacknowledged role that transport has in the unfolding of events.
