Background
Most of the urban growth of Albania has taken place within Tirana-Durrës-Fushë Kruja triangle. For the past 24 years Tirana has been expanding organically beyond its administrative boundary, especially in the northwest and south. Similarly, all Tirana’s neighboring local governments have been expanding in size and increasing in population forming an urban agglomeration, which is part of Tirana-Durrës metropolis.
