Architecture and Spatial Planning

Description

Prishtina and other capitals in the region are daily facing enormous applications to access public utilities. The development of construction trend that is still ongoing, with a combined architecture between the traditional and the modern, on one hand is contributing and generating revues to the budget of the capital city, and on the other hand is creating difficulties in providing infrastructural, social and public services. Spatial planning documents not always reflect the reality, because urban development is taking place rapidly in spite of legal capabilities to amend the development plans. The areas for public and social infrastructure have been defined by the Urban Regulatory Plans, mostly on private lands, lacking the Municipal land. Their expropriation is providing to be very challenging and, in many cases, unachievable. The low budget for expropriation and the necessity to gain municipal land pushed the Municipality of Prishtina to implement these goals planned by the Plans through forms of agreement for transfer of construction rights. Such expropriation method remains to be further analyzed and reconsolidated as a mechanism for acquiring and gaining municipal land. The aim is to facilitate the legal framework for finding the best ways of developing and satisfying the public and social interest, through appropriate and acceptable planning methods for expropriations of private land in order to provide for the citizens of Prishtina a healthy social, economic and environmental life.

Development of Policies for Acquiring Municipal Land, through Planning Mechanisms to Achieve the Defined Goals in Prishtina

Pristina, Kosovo

Prishtina and other capitals in the region are daily facing enormous applications to access public utilities. The development of construction trend that is still ongoing, with a combined architecture between the traditional and the modern, on one hand is contributing and generating revues to the budget of the capital city, and on the other hand is creating difficulties in providing infrastructural, social and public services. Spatial planning documents not always reflect the reality, because urban development is taking place rapidly in spite of legal capabilities to amend the development plans. The areas for public and social infrastructure have been defined by the Urban Regulatory Plans, mostly on private lands, lacking the Municipal land. Their expropriation is providing to be very challenging and, in many cases, unachievable. The low budget for expropriation and the necessity to gain municipal land pushed the Municipality of Prishtina to implement these goals planned by the Plans through forms of agreement for transfer of construction rights. Such expropriation method remains to be further analyzed and reconsolidated as a mechanism for acquiring and gaining municipal land. The aim is to facilitate the legal framework for finding the best ways of developing and satisfying the public and social interest, through appropriate and acceptable planning methods for expropriations of private land in order to provide for the citizens of Prishtina a healthy social, economic and environmental life.
