In response to pressing environmental issues affecting urban areas, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the municipality of Tirana are joining forces to develop a comprehensive set of policies to ensure the sustainable development of the Albanian capital.
The plan will be drawn up as part of the EBRD’s Green Cities Programme which supports municipalities addressing environmental challenges. Green – or sustainable – development is one of the six transition qualities the EBRD has identified in its approach to the countries where it invests, with competitiveness, resilience, governance, integration and inclusion the other key elements.
Cities face many environmental challenges, ranging from local air quality concerns, traffic congestion and limited land resources to pressure on water resources and the challenges associated with municipal solid waste. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), around two-thirds of energy use takes place within urban systems.
The Green City Action Plan will set out a concrete course of action for Tirana to tackle the most urgent problems faced by its population. It follows a Memorandum of Understanding between the EBRD and the municipality of Tirana signed in 2015 on cooperation in areas such as urban transport, urban roads infrastructure, water and wastewater services, solid waste management, street lights and overall improvements in energy efficiency.
Marking the beginning of the project today, Tirana’s Mayor Erion Veliaj said: “This is the first time that our municipality has earmarked a considerable sum of money to initiate a big project like the metropolitan forest. In addition, we have sent requests to 2,000 local businesses to sponsor certain segments of the forest. Our ambition is to have a green belt of 2 million trees in the outskirts of the city which will serve to oxygenise Tirana and halt the urban sprawl."
