Water And Territorial policiEs for integRation oF multisectoRial develOpmeNT
The project aims to define guidelines, strategies and operational tools for planning of common coasts, based on cross-border exchange of experiences Malta-Sicily, for the dissemination of good practice in order to harmonize the technical planning, thereby improving the conditions of environment for the transformation and development of the coastal tracts of the provinces of Trapani and Palermo and of Malta. The strengthening of the infrastructure nodes and their connection to the territories enhance the development of effective policies and programs able to build a strategic platform that unifies the islands in the Mediterranean area. The exchange of experiences and the dissemination of good practices among the partners involved (University Italy-Malta, Local Authorities) will improve techniques about territorial planning and about evaluation at national, regional and local levels and will better the ability of applying environmental policies and programs for risk prevention. The evaluation and interpretation of interventions already done and the analysis of risks and opportunities offered by  a dynamic transformations of the waterfront, already activated (Valletta) or to activate (Trapani and Palermo) will be the beginning of the project, representing itself as a model for all the border of the Mediterranean.
