GLOBALIZATION OF URBAN PLANNING POLICIES, KOSOVO AND EU STRATEGIES
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
The European policies tend to create an urban coherence and to develop as a territorial unification.
The NUTS classification (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) is a hierarchical system whose main objective is the regional development based on socioeconomic analysis, equality, and coherence. This categorization supports the ideology of capital cities to be considered, functioning as a metropolis. Hence, to be able to understand the prevalence of this theory, this paper primarily raises questions like: Is it the right time that Kosovo has to rethink the way of urban planning? ; Which indicators based on the New Urban Agenda should be taken into consideration when evaluating the city’s sense of creative resilience? Is Prishtina a metropolis? ; Do we have similarities with Western Balkan countries? And, is it the right time for globalization?
Additionally, this paper examines the physical growth trend of the city (Prishtine) and offers clarification, upon which proposition and suggestions are given on how to coordinate this changing city growth pattern with the benefits provided to human development
It is a curious paradox that Kosovo, indeed, aspires to be a member of European Union, but yet still possesses a territorial structure and urban policy documents completely different from the EU, moreover it continues to create documents which do not match with the European system.
Correspondingly, the general finding from this research paper is that, admittedly, large cities, on balance, benefit from globalization, although in some cases at the expense of widening spatial injustices. Hereupon, Kosovo as a country can benefit from globalization because it can borrow the urban policies and housing methods in that way adapting it to the context to preserve the originality. Furthermore, there is a need to educate new generations by using different strategies to stretch their knowledge by explaining in terms of unification and globalization.
