Malta's strategic aims for its Urban Agenda, as outlined in the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development (SPED), are in line with the goals of the New Urban Agenda. The main objective is the minimisation of urbanization pressures, guiding urban activity towards an integrated and good quality of urban life. The availability of adequate shelter through housing policies and the achievement of sustainable human settlements, form part of the local urban strategy. These aims, together with a focus on efficient use of resources and the protection of Malta’s cultural and natural heritage, are essential for a more sustainable urban future for the Islands.

The present National Report on the Implementation of the New Urban Agenda is structured in three parts. The first is on transformative commitments for sustainable urban development. The second consists of effective implementation. The third is on monitoring and review.
