Figure 2.: 3D Mapping System - Urban Structures and Topographic Integration The concept was conceived for development around a VRML model. This would allow users to access the city model and other linked spatial information, which would have extracted data from the HMS. Figure 3 depicts the process entailed in converting the vector data to raster and to the eventual 3D model (Borg & Formosa, 2008). The concept was conceived for development around a VRML model. This would allow The subsequent technologies employed for the Mdina Heritage Management System (HMS) were based on web-server technology, followed by plans for full Web-GIS systems. In sequence, this was followed by an initiation of a 3D modelling information system, which aimed to create a model of the city of Mdina in 3D allowing the GIS specialist to analyse the planning developments in real-time 3D, create a digital mirror of the town and analyse the impact of development. The use of early 3D modelling systems, GIS-add on applications such as raster generators (the systems were all vector-based at the time), helped create the first outputs (Figure 2).

Table 2: Heritage@Risk criteria following ICOMOS conventions (21). The demand to develop toolkits for assessment in the realm of heritage and culture is on the rise especially because experts and professionals in the field seek to substantiate value not only through qualitative data but also quantitatively through the analysis of indicators and statistical data. The application of a GIS based toolkit for cultural assessment was considered again in 2013. The need for digitising a toolkit for assessing fortified cities in Malta was contemplated through the surveys spearheaded by the Task Group working on the ‘Circles of Sustainability Assessments’ propelled by UN Global Compact Cities Programme through the Global Cities Institute (22). The Task Group composed of; political and administrative representatives from the cities, urban and environmenta planning experts and citizens through the last quarter of 2013 applied the assessment on the fortified cities of the Inner Harbour of Malta with the support of European Walled Towns. The cities included; Valletta, Floriana, Paola, Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea (23).
