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.

2. Implementing measures to reduce<br />
infrastructure vulnerability to extreme<br />
weather conditions must become a<br />
central management task for each kind <strong>of</strong><br />
infrastructure. The purpose <strong>of</strong> implementing<br />
these measures should be based in particular<br />
on reducing the damage caused to the weather<br />
sensitive infrastructure users, in cases when<br />
they cannot use it anymore.<br />
3. Establishing clear guidelines on the<br />
methodology, procedures and performance <strong>of</strong><br />
gathering the information on extreme weather<br />
conditions, as well as on the planning and<br />
implementing <strong>of</strong> measures to reduce the<br />
vulnerability <strong>of</strong> the predicted infrastructure to<br />
extreme weather conditions.<br />
9. Monitoring the coastline and the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
sediments coming from the rivers.<br />
10. Providing and allowing for a neccessary<br />
space for the rivers in order to avoid floods.<br />
11. Adapting the buildings at risk <strong>of</strong> flooding.<br />
12. Displacing the population that has built in<br />
the areas at risk.<br />
13. Drafting plans to adapt cities to climate<br />
change 27 .<br />
4. Informing, educating and sensitizing the<br />
general public on climate change and the<br />
relevant effects. Raising awareness on climate<br />
change among the residents takes a special<br />
meaning in the administration <strong>of</strong> the territories<br />
by the local units. The information should be<br />
conducted by the municipalities and should be<br />
associated with the preparation <strong>of</strong> maps that<br />
indicate areas <strong>of</strong> natural hazards.<br />
5. Rehabilitating, expanding and developing<br />
water supply infrastructures, including<br />
scenarios <strong>of</strong> climate change in this sector,<br />
as well as managing water demand through<br />
reuse, provision <strong>of</strong> new water resources, rain<br />
water, desalination, etc.<br />
6. Improving water efficiency, irrigation<br />
infrastructure, variety <strong>of</strong> plants, drainage<br />
systems, fertilization and soil moisture<br />
retention, etc.<br />
7. Constructing and protecting from floods,<br />
by raising the levels <strong>of</strong> river beds and marine<br />
dikes.<br />
8. Managing the sea and river erosion.<br />
