We are delighted to present the seventh and final episode of our podcast series with What's That Green?, the creative, community-driven platform focused on nature-based solutions in cities.
This episode focuses on the work we conducted in Gżira, Malta, a densely populated city facing growing environmental pressures from limited green spaces and intense development. Can one street change the way a whole city thinks about nature? Tune in to find out!
Shirley Attard, local JUSTNature project coordinator, shares how the municipality started the transformation journe: from grey infrastructure in a heavy-traffic street into greener, healthier public space. Rather than focusing on grand interventions, Gżira’s story reminds us that lasting urban change often starts with small, carefully planned actions, and with people willing to learn together.
