Vlora Waterfront

Vlora is one of the most beautiful coastal urban sites in the Albanian coast. It attracts quite a large number of tourists every season but also during the entire year, especially during weekends. These are facts that make Vlora receive a lot of public attention. Therefore the design of the Waterfront promenade should be a product of not a single designer or a single studio. It should be a product of a collective public opinion through an instrument that ensures the expression of interest of many designers, finalized by an open and transparent selection of the wide public facilitated by the local and international expertise.

Complete Streets<br />

Many landscape elements help manage storm water runoff. Bios wales,<br />

green space, rain gardens, and street trees are all mutually beneficial for<br />

mobility and ecology. These green elements are increasingly found to be<br />

important deterrents of collisions and accidents, and contribute to a more<br />

comfortable and visually interesting environment for all users.<br />

Wind Turbines<br />

Small wind turbines are employed to charge auxiliary batteries on boats and<br />

hybrid caravans, or to power traffic warning signs. Slightly larger turbines<br />

can be used for making modest inputs to a domestic power supply or to<br />

sell surplus power back to the utility supplier. Wind energy can contribute<br />

to the self-sufficiency and sustainability of the <strong>Vlora</strong> waterfront.<br />
