Paphos municipality initiates public consultation for new local urban plan

On September 30, 2026, the Municipality of Paphos held a town hall meeting to launch the revision process for the city's Local Urban Plan. Acting Mayor Angelos Onisiforou emphasized that the process aims to involve residents directly to ensure the city's long-term development is aligned with actual community needs.

During the assembly, Onisiforou stated that urban planning should not be conducted in isolation. He highlighted that the initiative seeks to gather feedback on critical issues, including population growth projections and the efficiency of the existing road network. The primary goal is to shift from short-term fixes to a sustainable vision that anticipates the challenges Paphos will face over the coming decades.

The municipality intends to maintain an open dialogue between the local government, the municipal council, and the citizens to ensure the final plan is collaborative. No specific deadline for the adoption of the plan was announced, but the process is intended to remain transparent, prioritizing the input of those who live and work in the city.
