The Use of Landscape as a Method of Integrating Informal Settlements in Tirana
The development of informal buildings has been a widespread phenomenon in the Albania during the last 30 years. Tirana, the capital of the country, has been the most affected one. This new type of development is spread all over the perimeter of the capital filling different territories by changing their land use from natural, agricultural, industrial, recreational, etc., to residential. It does have a powerful impact on the city due to its spontaneity and also carries on many problems related mostly to the lack of infrastructure, services, public spaces, and therefore lack of social cohesion and quality of life in these areas. There have been some developments during the last years, a Perimetral Park is proposed to be implemented defining the city limits which happens to be between nature and informal settlements. Considering this and the potentials of the natural and semi-natural environment have, this paper aims to develop further a sustainable approach that of regeneration and integration of the informal settlements, through the use of landscape. After the study and evaluation of all the databases, embracing landscape theories, a set of indicators and steps to follow for possible intervention will get developed. A theoretical methodology generated from this research could contribute to further studies on the issue for having an elevated attention from local authorities on the edge of the city by integrating the informality to the consolidated urban fabric, thus contributing toward sustainable development of Tirana.
