Nik - Site 2

The top one is my new site without my intervention. The bottom one shows how I would like to bring in the connection from the Urban setting. I chose this site because it is very unique. On one side you have urban-scape, on the other landscape, and to the north water-scape. I believe this site suites my needs more than the other.

Here is a zoom in on the Grand Harbor of Valletta, Malta. My sites are shown in green. This also shows the connection and location of the old forts that once protected Malta. I found out that this was a key place for ships to dock and refuel back in the day. Another thing is that because of the increase of water levels due to climate change, Malta is slowly sinking.

So my site is in the country of Malta. I choose this site since, on the map above, it is pretty much directly in the middle of the world (equal distance from America and China, as well as Europe and Africa).
