TIRANA, Feb. 18 – Albania will announce on Friday, Feb. 21 the winning project to rehabilitate Vlora’s coastal promenade. Five projects by international design studios have been shortlisted for the competition to rehabilitate the waterfront promenade in the southern coastal city of Vlora. They are France’s L’AUC Paris, Belgium-Italian DOGMA, Belgium XDGA and Switzerland’s HFF, Germany’s MBAS.
Some 45 projects from international studios were submitted as part of the competition, said the Urban Development and Tourism Ministry. Preparatory works have already started with the demolition of some illegal building just next to the sea.
“This project will make Vlora more attractive to tourists. We have the will to complete this project on Vlora’s coastline. Our target is to complete this project by 2015 and I am convinced that we have the capability to make this a reality,” Prime Minister Edi Rama has earlier said.
The project involves a 5 km-long coastal band that lays territorially from the ‘Soda Woods’ (west) till the Tunnel (south), and bends at the Port Area as it reaches the city central area.
