Based in Tirana, Albania, the National Territorial Planning Agency (AKPT) is a public planning authority subordinate to the ministry responsible for territorial planning and development. Its establishment and functions are grounded in Albania’s Law No. 107/2014 and a government decision dated 8 June 2016; the available sources do not establish a separate founding year. 2
AKPT works across Albania, coordinating the preparation and review of territorial plans by central and local authorities. It provides technical support and checks planning documents for consistency with national plans and applicable rules. The agency also manages the National Registry of Territorial Planning, informs the public about planning processes, and prepares monitoring reports on the goals set out in national and detailed plans. 24
Its remit includes national and local planning, as well as plans for areas of national importance. A major planning framework is the General National Spatial Plan, known as “Albania 2030”; AKPT also supports planning for the country’s 61 municipalities. 11 The agency’s official site lists the General National Spatial Plan, an integrated cross-sectoral plan for the coast, and a plan for the Tirana–Durrës area among its planning work. 2
