Overview

Background & policy context:

Traffic volumes have increased significantly in Albania since the early 1990s. This has caused environmental challenges concerning traffic congestion and air pollution, especially in Tirana.

Objectives:

The project’s main objectives focused on improving understanding about traffic-related air pollution factors in Tirana and identifying appropriate measures for tackling such pollution. These goals were to be achieved by a systematic approach which involved:

developing a strategy for monitoring air pollution;
evaluating the real extent of air pollution in Tirana;
defining air pollution hot spots in Tirana;
and integrating these findings within regional planning and traffic management systems using capacity building approaches.
