Session

Architecture and Spatial Planning

Description

Considering spatial/ urban planning process in Kosovo as transitional, young and developing Country in Western Balkans; means considering fundamental tool for sustainable development based on rapid evolvement of socio- economic structures and institutional framework. This process is facing significant challenges:      Establishing effective governance system Establishing relevant legal framework Establishing interrelated hierarchy and interactions Establishing monitoring and implementation mechanisms Establishing management of political, administrative and technical barriers All those challenges are with direct impact on effectiveness and qualitative planning process and progress. This paper shows that challenges are directly related to: lack of coordination among institution’s, insufficient partners participation, week enforcement mechanisms and limited financial resources for implementation! So, improvement of spatial/ urban planning process in Kosovo needs a focus on correlation between legal framework and multi- level governance structure towards shaping decision- making!
