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.

Pursuant to this policy, the municipalities are<br />

suggested to use land development tools, as<br />

defined by the Law 107/2014 “On planning and<br />

development <strong>of</strong> the territory”, as amended,<br />

such as: compulsory development, transfer <strong>of</strong><br />

development rights, conditional intensity and<br />

/ or other similar tools, which may be set out<br />

in the regulations <strong>of</strong> the GLPs.<br />

Moreover, in the context <strong>of</strong> urban regeneration<br />

programs, other tools ca be also used, which<br />

have been successfully applied before such<br />

as BID (Business Improvement District / <strong>Area</strong><br />

focused on business), TOD (Transit-Oriented<br />

Development / mixed-use development<br />

oriented towards public transport, etc.).<br />

For an effective management <strong>of</strong> interventions,<br />

it is suggested to use cross-cutting<br />

development strategies, where initiatives may<br />

come from different levels <strong>of</strong> the bottom-up<br />

or top-down hierarchy, but certainly including<br />

the following groups in the management<br />

processes:<br />

• central governance;<br />

• local governance;<br />

• civil society;<br />

• academia;<br />

• business;<br />

• community.<br />

Models for regenerative initiatives should<br />

build upon a clear vision, strategies and<br />

action and monitoring plans.<br />

Characteristics<br />

The location and number <strong>of</strong> regeneration poles in informal urban<br />

areas should be developed by the respective municipalities through<br />

the GLP-s and the municipal development strategy.<br />

It must be based on the aforementioned principles on environment,<br />

employment, housing, technological areas <strong>of</strong> economic development,<br />

public transport, enterprise and PPP.<br />

No new urban poles should be created outside the green line<br />

limiting construction, and in peri-urban areas as well. The poles<br />

should build upon an intelligent and controlled density, calculated<br />

in infrastructure and services based on the trend <strong>of</strong> population<br />

growth in the region.<br />

Development typologies are based on the hierarchy <strong>of</strong> the centres,<br />

their spatial typology, municipal territorial public values, level <strong>of</strong><br />

development and investments in the territory, with infrastructure<br />

and public and private services, and intervention measures to be<br />

taken.<br />

Development methods: community projects / programs<br />

(revitalization), urban regeneration, reallocation-resettlement<br />

and redevelopment.<br />

Urban-rural regeneration should not be promoted in areas with<br />

natural hazards, in protected sectorial areas, (i.e. industrial waste<br />

areas) in poles / axes / corridors <strong>of</strong> national relevance. Investments<br />

and development should be diverted from these areas that are in<br />

conflict with the principles <strong>of</strong> sustainable development and increase<br />

expropriation costs.<br />
