Abstract
These are challenges we have worked on with a multidisciplinary team of students from the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands and several universities in Albania. Eventually, a development strategy was made for three locations in and around the capital Tirana. This report is a landscape architectural elaboration of one of these locations: the Limuthi valley. This place has great potential given the location between the port city of Durres and Tirana. By combining technical interventions, a landscape architectonic design and a strategic cooperation proposal between residents, municipality and development organizations, flood problems in this area can be tackled.
