Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

The Albanian Government and the National Spatial Plan have identified the Tiranë-Durrës area, as one of the most important economic areas of the country, and of the Balkan region. To ensure a sustainable territorial and urban development of this area, the Ministry of Urban Development in cooperation with the National Territorial Planning Agency has taken the initiative to draft a Cross-sectoral Integrated Plan for the economic area Tiranë – Durrës. The metropolitan region under study includes territories administered by 5 municipalities: Tiranë, Durrës, Vorë, Shijak, Kamëz.

development should be supported by incentive<br />

policies for public-private partnerships.<br />

Municipalities affected by the plan should<br />

combine interaction between creative<br />

neighborhoods and pedestrian areas, creating<br />

a climate diversified in functions and services,<br />

to increase the critical mass <strong>of</strong> users, and to<br />

create economies <strong>of</strong> scale in these poles;<br />

• The development <strong>of</strong> nature-focused<br />

tourism, in addition to the use <strong>of</strong> natural<br />

assets, should be supported by recreational<br />

functions related to rural development and<br />

agri-tourism.<br />

It is suggested to construct green corridors<br />

along the river beds, equipped with<br />

infrastructure for <strong>of</strong>f-road cycling and<br />

outdoor hiking. These mobility axes should<br />

be developed in such a way as to provide<br />

safe movement and low impact in nature.<br />

The services provided in them should be<br />

combined with service packages in the rural<br />

and cultural heritage areas <strong>of</strong> the region. The<br />

creation <strong>of</strong> physical infrastructure in green<br />

corridors should be combined with areas<br />

that promote heritage and culture. Mobility in<br />

these axes should be equipped with physical<br />

and virtual information infrastructures;<br />
