The capital of Albania joins the BreatheLife network armed with detailed urban transformation plans that tackle some of the most pressing concerns of cities— traffic congestion, urban sprawl, air pollution — and are changing how it grows and moves, with co-benefits for air quality and climate.
The General Local Plan, for the first time ever, has provided the city with a blueprint for development that recognizes the importance of sustainability and environmentally-friendly policies. Indeed, we view them as crucial to the creation of a sustainable municipal environment which will stimulate the capital’s economic growth and improve living conditions for our citizens.
