AP Valletta Director of Practice & Partner Jacques Borg Barthet featured in the book ‘The Future of Paceville’ (Malta University Press)

On Friday, 17th April, Malta University Press officially launched The Future of Paceville, a new publication edited by Dr Elise Billiard Pisani and Prof Reuben Grima.

The book includes a chapter by AP Valletta Director of Practice and Partner, Jacques Borg Barthet, entitled Paceville: Parties, Planning and the Public Interest.’

The Malta University Press describes the publication as A book for those who believe that the destruction of urban common spaces is an attack against democracy, as it leads to a dramatic reduction of rights. In particular, the articles here trace the genesis of an urban oddity in the Maltese context which has become the model and testing ground for a new vision of its future…the collection of articles has an unusually long history; first drafted ten years ago, they have been enriched with constant and recent analysis.”
