GETS IT
But noisy Malaga City lacks green spaces MALAGA CITY is becoming a more people-friendly city with less traffic and more pedestrianised streets. But while it is a much better place to live than almost 20 years ago, it
has modern-day downsides. For the city is noisy, has less green space per resident than the ideal, and local families do not recycle rubbish as much as they should.
PEDESTRIANISED: Calle Larios is Malaga’s best-known shopping street.
These findings have just been revealed by the Urban Environment Observatory which spotlights evolution since 1995 and compares it with minimum standards set for a sustainable standard of living. On the upside, the number of cars on local streets has fallen by almost 300,000 per day. More people now use public transport, with nine in 10 Malaga City residents now living within 300 metres Turn to page 4
