Land tactics, and territorial impact in the informal urban growth in Albania

Learning from the informal land tactic is a research which focuses on the diversity and the multiform which land and settlement are shaped, and re-shaped, in the territory. And, there might be various reasons why this perpetual condition persists in the informal areas in the Albanian context. Many of them are analyzed and named from the impact that they have on the territory, such as land fragmentation and mobility. The research aims to identify these territorial statements and starts from the Albanian local theories through the regional scale and arrives in international theories. And all of them have one thing in common, they are half-realized theoretical utopias. Such is the urbanization process in Albania which has never occurred simultaneously with the settlement and the parceling in informal areas. It's up to urban planners and landscapers to identify these conditions even if the public and institutional apparatus do not deal. Passing from the theories, and their territorial partialities, the methodology gives a probabilistic description of territorial impacts from three processes of the urban informal growth in Albania. a) Setting a settlement, b) parceling and c) put in infrastructure are the processes analyzed. The multiform of their alternations can be described as land tactics. The final reclaiming and assumptions are that where the c) infrastructure has missed the multiform of informal practices have flourished, including those which has legal constraints and other hindering factors. For this reason, it's important to open an unequivocal and responsive dialogue, based on the land impact, with single inhabitants and various experts on planning matter.
