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.

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 General Local <strong>Plan</strong>s and the municipal development strategy.<br />
Development must be based on the aforementioned principles on<br />
interconnection, integration and harmonization <strong>of</strong> urban centres in:<br />
environment, employment, housing, economic development<br />
technological areas, public transport, services, enterprise,<br />
public-private partnership.<br />
Revitalization <strong>of</strong> informal areas must be in harmony with the<br />
revitalization <strong>of</strong> urban poles to unify development and investments,<br />
in order to integrate these centres in the urban communities.<br />
However, this proces should not create any new urban poles outside<br />
the green line limiting construction, and in peri-urban areas as well.<br />
The poles should build upon an intelligent and controlled density,<br />
calculated in infrastructure and services based on the trend <strong>of</strong><br />
population growth in the region.<br />
Development typologies, with regards to which intervention<br />
measures should be taken, are based on the hierarchy <strong>of</strong> the<br />
centres, their spatial typology, municipal territorial public values,<br />
level <strong>of</strong> development and investments in the territory, with<br />
infrastructure and public and private services.<br />
The development methods include community projects / programs<br />
(revitalization), urban regeneration, reallocation-resettlement and<br />
redevelopment. Urban-rural regeneration should not be promoted<br />
in areas with natural hazards, in protected sectorial areas, (i.e.<br />
industrial waste areas) in poles / axes / corridors <strong>of</strong> national<br />
relevance. Investments and development should be diverted from<br />
these areas that are in conflict with the principles <strong>of</strong> sustainable<br />
development and increase expropriation costs.<br />

UP4- Accommodation and social<br />
housing<br />
UP4.1- Accomodation<br />
New developments in housing should be based<br />
on the trend <strong>of</strong> population growth, changes in<br />
family structure and the factor <strong>of</strong> population<br />
aging, providing adequate housing spaces for<br />
these changes manifested in the population<br />
demographics <strong>of</strong> the region.<br />
Residential areas should contain different<br />
areas for housing, services, rental facilities<br />
and different housing categorizations for the<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> new families as well as for the third<br />
age group.<br />
Housing densification should be “smart”,<br />
on a human scale, ensuring that the living<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> residents in these areas are not<br />
compromised by overcrowding. Densification<br />
should allow and develop the use <strong>of</strong> territory<br />
with mixed functions, interrelated to service<br />
areas, and an efficient infrastructure.<br />
• Housing should meet the regional<br />
accessibility needs for all social groups and<br />
individuals.<br />
• The apartments should ensure differentiated<br />
typologies for all age groups and functions;<br />
they should be accessible by public transport,<br />
and have living standards based on a m 2 per<br />
capita/apartment basis.<br />
