Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

avoid the legalization process for structures
and buildings located within the railway
mobility operation range.
• Railway mobility should enable the
exchange of travel routes both for freight
and passengers.
It is recommended that the development of
freight transport lines should be phased in
time, initially by preserving and protecting
with buffer zones the territories where these
lines can develop and then establishing
links with the port areas as well as with the
economic areas.
Development of secondary and local
road axes in rural areas
The development of new secondary road
axes in rural areas should be in line with the
needs of the community, tourism and land
use set out in the general local plans.
The reinforcement and development of the
breadth of their sections should be in line
with the sectorial laws in force, ensuring
an effective connection for communities,
tourist structures and use to the benefit of
agriculture.
Construction of axes, which only serve to
private investments, should be carried out
by the developers themselves, guaranteeing
the necessary conditions in order not to
prejudice the use of agricultural land as well
as of the protected land and water areas.
Local road axes serving to agriculture
should be developed in the form of rings, in
order to guarantee the easy circulation of
agricultural vehicles. They should be based
on the sectorial legislation in force, and
should provide opportunities for connection
to agricultural pole areas and local and
regional waste composting spots.
RT10- Infrastructure, energy and
telecommunication
The development of water supply and
sewerage, energy and telecommunications
infrastructure should be oriented towards
an integrated development of utilities,
coordination of civil works and co-use, with
an environmental-friendly development
approach, based on the sectorial strategy
and the “Dig once” principle, to minimize
costs.
Underground infrastructure should cover the
needs of communities, based on population
projections and tourism flows.
Defining and protecting groundwater
that will serve as future potential for the
supply of urban areas should be a priority
of regional municipalities to protect and
maintain the damages and impacts that
urban development can bring.
The underground infrastructure system
should be based on strategic investments,
on the hierarchy of centres, on their
new developments, on all typologies
and regional poles defined as a priority.
Coverage with these types of services
should precede urban development, giving
priority to densification and concentration
of investments, as well as to reduction of
maintenance costs.
Urban developments in low-density ruralnatural
areas, such as residential buildings
unconnected to urban centres, should be
supported to create joint areas of water
supply and sewerages by alternative
methods, not connected to the network,
such as certified water wells and sewerage
system with certified / ecological and
periodically controlled septic tanks.
Information communication
technology / ICT
• The telecommunication network services
should support economic areas and
urban centres with fast internet access
to develop e-economy opportunities.
Urban centres should be covered with
fast telecommunication connection
infrastructure, while the integration of
networks into common infrastructural
corridors should be coordinated among
