Urban areas hierarchy

APIExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇲🇹Malta

This WFS API provides access to part of the Strategic Proposals and Marine Objectives published in Malta's Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development (SPED). It delivers spatial data classifying urban areas into a hierarchy of Principal Urban Area, Regional Urban Settlements, and Small Urban Settlements. The dataset is maintained by the Planning Authority of Malta and covers the national territory. It is relevant to environmental planning, transport planning, and boundary delineation work, offering a structured view of settlement classification that supports spatial analysis related to urban development and land-use policy across Malta's urban hierarchy.This dataset consists of part of the Strategic Proposals and Marine Objectives as published in the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development (SPED). It shows the classification of the urban areas into Principal Urban Area, Regional Urban Settlements and Small Urban Settlements.
