Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

further affect a better management of the grid.
It is suggested to promote lending schemes
on using photovoltaic panels for residential
and social buildings.
• The municipalities of the region should
promote the development of housing blocks
with “green” certificates/ecolabelling,
providing differentiated taxation to use these
assets.
Supporting PPP schemes on compulsory
use of smart digital energy infrastructure
for buildings would further develop the
conditions for creating urban areas with low
environmental pollution.
UP7- Urban mobility network
Urban mobility needs to be developed to meet
the mobility needs of residents and services
provided by businesses in the region in order to
ensure a qualitative living and efficient mobility
in time.
The aim is to build connected networks under
a continuous cycle, based on:
• a long-term, flexible vision and a clear
implementation plan;
• a broad-based participation in choosing the
vision and modes of transport;
• a balanced and integrated development of
all modes of transport, i.e. road, railway, water,
air;
• a clear and permanent assessment,
monitoring and reporting with measurable
indicators of the performance by the local and
regional structures.
Urban mobility plans should cover all forms
and modes of transport for all urban regional
agglomerations, including the movement of
private and public vehicles, passenger and
freight vehicles, whether motorized or nonmotorized,
in motion or in parking areas.
Mobility networks should combine extraurban
and urban mobility flows, creating multimodal
mobility nodes in strategic poles, where
ring systems and primary regional axes are
connected.
Municipalities should develop clear legal and
fiscal policies on the mass parking areas near
these nodes, aiming to reduce extraurban
mobility flows within urban centres.
The connection and harmonization of urban
mobility should combine clear schemes and
policies on:
• the motorized movement of residents;
• urban logistics;
• public vehicle mobility;
• alternative mobility ways without
environmental pollution.
Strategic poles and areas of urban
densification should be supported by efficient
public transport and specialized lanes that
promote the use for commuting and tourism
mobility.
The aim is to build public mobility schemes
with integrated tickets for mixed use,
with differentiated prices for different
social groups, as well as for different daily
schedules, to avoid the use of private vehicles.
UP7.1- Biking and walking
To minimize urban traffic problems,
alternative modes of transport, such as
bicycle riding and walking, are needed. The
following measures can be used to promote
and encourage increased use of bicycle
transport:
• Connecting, expanding and improving
spaces for bicycle use in primary road axes
would provide the missing conditions for
creating and using an interconnected and
accessible network for all residents.
• Improvement of safety conditions in
bicycle travel axes should be established by
developing vertical and horizontal signaling,
creating separating barriers and enabling
the division of flows in intersections between
vehicle users.
• Obligatory provision of the bicycle network
and service areas should be developed by
