Nivica - A model for rural development in southern Albaniacomissioned by the National Coastline agency Nivica - a model for rural
development in southern Albania location Nivica, Albania size 55 ha client
National Coastline Agency, Albania services workshop, analysis, masterplan
status in progress partner Martin Sobota team Eni Ajdini, Henry Endemann
In the beginning of May 2018 students and professionals from
Albania and the Netherlands went on a trip to Nivica, exploring
the village and the region, and drafting first ideas. The team
included architects, urban planners, archaeologists, landscape
architects and architectural historians. The workshop results
built the foundation for the further development of a masterplan
for Nivica.
The goal of this masterplan is to develop a model for a
sustainable and prosperous rural economy, with touristic
potential within Albania but also on an international scale. As a
Living Lab, Nivica allows to experiment with alternative forms
of (slow) tourism, small scale investment, renewable energy
and local food and waste chains. The masterplan combines
the preservation of buildings and structures related to the rich
history of the region with a sustainable, diverse expansion of the
touristic potential.
Nivica is meant to be the protoype for Albania’s “100 villages“
plan, which sets out to fundamentally rethink rural development
in the country.
