Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

They should be supported with the
necessary infrastructure such as: lanes
dedicated to public transport, sewerage
networks, water supply, electricity grids,
gasification networks and fast connections
to ICT infrastructure.
The use of the territory in these areas
should be developed with a mix of services
that guarantee economies of scale, security
and sufficient recreational conditions for the
users. Space development should be such
as to ensure the continuous use of the area
throughout the day, providing mixed support
functions.
Fairs and massive event areas should
be developed near the primary nodes
of transport mode exchange such as
multimodal centres, central or secondary
stations, creating increased opportunities
for mass flow and providing the necessary
parking spaces for all needs. These
territories should ensure security and
diverse functions in the use of the territory,
guaranteeing the development of various
typologies of events at the same time.
Shopping centres must be developed
within the boundaries of urbanization and
transport ring-road systems. They should
serve as new poles for attracting and
developing new urban areas supported by
efficient transport.
National port areas, being the strategic
entry gateways, should guarantee quick
access of goods and vehicles in the region.
These areas need to be equipped with
modern infrastructure to cope with the
increased volumes of passengers and goods
in the future. These port areas should
ensure such a development that addresses
the community’s needs for a healthy and
sustainable environment, ensuring the
processing of primary commodities and raw
materials outside urban centres.
Stationing areas should be developed with
space for storage and flow management,
relying on reserve areas for capacity
increase in relation to flows by 2030.
The port management space for passenger
flows, tourists and cruisers and yachts,
should create open access to the city,
increase the attractiveness of the port city,
and develop the local economy.
They should generate access and stationing
for:
1. Passengers station, for the anchorage of
small and medium-sized travel vessels;
2. Tourist station, for the anchorage of large
cruise ships;
3. Service and processing port area, for the
anchorage of cargo containers;
4. Port service area, for the anchorage of the
fishing fleet;
5. Port tourist area, for the anchorage of
yachts.
TR8- Development of poles with a
touristic and relaxing character
The establishment and development of
tourist poles should be accompanied by
quality services in physical and electronic
infrastructure. Tourist areas and poles
should first be equipped with infrastructure
that enables fast access to public transport
and connection to multimodal mobility
means. These poles should be supported
with tourism and economy incentives based
on development typologies, geographic,
socio-cultural and environmental conditions.
The aim is to develop tourist poles through
the connection of geographic, physical,
human and cultural potentials based on:
• The regeneration and development of
natural, historical-cultural territorial
assets serving to tourism, by providing
security and quick access to residential
settlements; efficient road and / or rail
physical connections, massive underground
or over-ground parking areas, public
transport and electronic infrastructure to
access the global market; efficient services;
information infrastructure (information
office) and certified tourist guides.
