1.2 Combination of the national plans Based on the Law no.107/2014 “On planning and development of the territory”, as amended, and by-laws for its implementation, the national instruments of territorial planning are: the General National Plan, as the highest planning instrument, the sectorial national plans and the detailed plans for the areas of national importance. Under this context, the Ministry of Urban Development, as the ministry responsible for territorial planning and development, undertook the initiative to draft three national plans: the General National Plan, the Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan for the Coast and the Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of the Economic Area Tirana-Durres. The initiatives and work to draft these documents have been carried out in parallel and in a coordinated manner. The simultaneous drafting of these three plans enables harmonization among their policies and their further elaboration from the national level of the GNP to the regional level of the coastal area and the economic area Tirana-Durres. The General National Plan The General National Plan is the highest instrument in the hierarchy of territorial planning. As such, it is the basis for the coordination and correlation of the national sectorial policies and plans by giving them a territorial perspective. The GNP is the guiding framework for developments in the territory with definitions for a 15-year period. It is a platform where the economic interests are harmonized with other interests such as territorial cohesion, environmental protection and the protection of the cultural and historical heritage. the engines of this country’s economy. One of these poles is the metropolitan area of Tirana-Durres. Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of the Coast (Coastal ICSP) The Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan for the Coast aims to determine the main directions of the development of the coastal belt in order to mitigate the negative effects of the spontaneous and uncontrolled development of the area, as well as to lead the sustainable development of its assets during the next 15 years. The Coastal ICSP ensures the integration of territorial policies within the framework of the government’s program to transform the belt into an influential factor in the economy and to stimulate its competitiveness in relation to other similar coastal regions. This plan will guide the development of the coastal belt, while ensuring, above all, stronger protection of the environment, nature, landscape and assets of the coastal region. Sectorial plans and strategies Within the framework of drafting the ICSP Tirana-Durres, all the sectorial strategies developed by line ministries, which have an impact on this area, have been consulted with. Under this context, the Draft-National Strategy for Development and Integration 2015-2020, draft-National Strategy for Tourism Development 2015-2020, the Transport Strategy, the Economic Development Strategy, the Strategy on Environment, on Energy, etc., 14 have been taken into consideration. Among the most important provisions of the GNP are the hierarchy of urban centres and development poles which will serve as 14 Meanwhile, although a part of the sectorial strategies were still in the drafting process when ICSP Tirana-Durres was under way, the working group meetings continued with the staff of the relevant ministries so that sectorial policies could be best reflected in the plan. 36
