This corridor has become the primary locus of population growth and settlement development, attracting a significant influx of internal migrants from the country's peripheral areas. Despite an overall decline of the country's total population, the urban population has continued to increase. The 2011 census recorded that 54% of the country's inhabitants resided in urban areas, and estimates for 2023 indicated that this figure had risen to 63%. This sustained urban population growth, coupled with the concentration in the Tirana-Durrës agglomeration, has led to a spread of regional imbalances, with the peripheral areas experiencing severe depopulation. |

Background
[edit]Following centuries of Ottoman dominion, Albania declared its independence on 28 November 1912 in Vlorë, under the leadership of Ismail Qemali and other prominent figures of the Albanian Renaissance. The decline of the Ottoman Empire, alongside the rise of nationalist movements in the Balkans, formed an opportunity for Albanians to proclaim their right to self-determination. While the nation's independence was recognised by European powers through the treaty of London in 1913, the borders formed by the treaty excluded significant Albanian populations, particularly in Epirus, Kosovo, and Macedonia, which were incorporated by neighboring states. This territorial settlement heightened regional tensions and deepened internal divisions, as various factions within Albania vied for control over the disputed territories. The outbreak of World War I further destabilised the region, with the nation subjected to the occupation of multiple foreign forces. At the war's conclusion in 1918, Albania's territorial integrity remained unresolved, with its borders still contested by surrounding states, which continued to challenge its territorial claims.
