Tirana’s new boulevard extension is structured around a sequence of open, green spaces conceived as ‘urban living rooms’, giving it a new function as a linear park.
The design put people first with over 65% of space dedicated to pedestrian and cyclists, while an abundance of trees and bushes creates a natural barrier to the traffic.
Responding to the high demand for open space in the capital, the concept reflects the Mediterranean outdoor culture of transforming the quality, safety and security of the urban environment, and encouraging walking as the most enjoyable and convenient means of moving around the city.
