| Abstract: | During the 19th and 20th centuries three factors revolutionised the SIiema landscape. First, the British, in complete control of the Mediterranean and engaged in empire building in Asia and Africa, brought previously unknown prosperity to these Islands especially to the middle-class merchants. This includes the relocation of holiday homes and a change in public transport which included Valletta-Sliema ferry service. The second factor was population over-spill from the Five Cities (Bormla, Birgu, L-Isla, Floriana and Valletta) from 1850 to 1950. The third and the last factor is that Sliema has become an important commercial centre expressed spatially by the multi-storey shop and office blocks. |
