Urbanisation
Subsequent to the collapse of communism in 1991, Albania has undergone a remarkable transformation in its urban landscape, emerging as one of the fastest urbanising countries in Europe.[1][2] At the forefront of this transformation is the Tirana-Durrës agglomeration, a densely populated urban corridor situated along the western coast of Albania.[3] 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.[3] Despite an overall decline of the country's total population, the proportion of the demographic has consistently progressed from 47% in 2001 to 65% in 2023.[4][5][6] This ongoing increase, coupled with the concentration in the Tirana-Durrës region, has led to a spread of regional imbalances, with the peripheral areas experiencing severe depopulation.[7]
