TIRANA, February 3 – Isa Boletini Square in Shkodër reopened with a completely new look after rehabilitation works. The space is now green, open, and fully functional for citizens.

Authorities removed the structures that had occupied the public area. The square now offers more urban breathing space and a more organized layout for the community.

The Mayor of Shkodër, Benet Beci, said the square transformed from a congested and occupied area into a functional and aesthetically balanced space. He highlighted the investment and liberation of public areas as key factors in this change.

Beci added that the intervention on the arch building, including insulated facades, new windows, and full architectural treatment, improved living conditions for residents. It also created a cleaner and more dignified image for the neighborhood.

He said the square now provides more urban breathing space, better order, and a presentation that respects public space and the city’s identity.

Meanwhile, the municipality will soon start rehabilitating the block of buildings on Tafilice Street in the Dërguti area. The project aims to improve residents’ daily life by adding order, functionality, and aesthetics.

The municipality plans to invest in public spaces, access, greenery, and shared areas to make this block more livable, dignified, and community-friendly.

Last year, authorities cleared multiple public spaces nationwide from illegal constructions. This initiative preceded the implementation of the “Urban Renaissance 2.0” program.
