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.

<strong>Vlora</strong> waterfront promenade<br />
Overview<br />
The main concept of the master plan is to flow the city into the waterfront<br />
and create a unique cultural platform with recreational and entertainment<br />
facilities serving the city, its people and tourists with new dimension,<br />
meaning and scale of development. The city waterfront should be<br />
envisaged as a city’s identity on its waterfront. Particularly in the “Skela”<br />
part and in the harbor, it assumes mostly public function, while the rest<br />
remains more natural, with services for tourism. On this concept is created<br />
a vision based on a net of natural elements, on a dialogue with the main<br />
built matrix of the city, longitudinal land and water connections, reinforced<br />
cross-roads to the sea and the longitudinal continuity of the waterfront.<br />
