🔴⚪ Vijojmë punën për një qytet më të sigurt! Te kryqëzimi i rrugës 📍 “Bardhyl” me “Kongresi i Manastirit”, kemi rifreskuar vendkalimin e këmbësorëve, vijën e stopit dhe shigjetat orientuese, që çdo kalimtar dhe drejtues mjeti të ketë sinjalistikë të qartë. ✅🚶‍♂️🚗

Tirana has the only Bicycle School in the Balkans, where more than 4000 children have been trained to ride safely and confidently. A big step for the future of cycling in the city! Love this city 🫶🏻 #tirana

Në Shkollën e Biçikletave 🚴🏻‍♀️, fëmijët mësojnë jo vetëm si të pedalojnë me siguri 🦺, por edhe si të bëhen qytetarë të përgjegjshëm në rrugë. 🥰

Vogëlushët e kopshtit “Lodrojmë” po mësojnë për natyrën 🌿, duke u argëtuar ndërkohë që mbjellin lulen e tyre të parë 🌸. Një ditë plot buzëqeshje dhe mësime të bukura! 🥰✨

Thank you to International School @KingsTirana for the appreciation letter! Together with the Municipality of Tirana’s Department of Transportation, we shared our knowledge about bicycle infrastructure. After a bike tour showing the new bike lanes and promoting safety, we’re happy to see at least four students encouraged to start cycling!

According to the European Commission’s “Quality of Life in European Cities 2023” survey, over 10% of Tirana’s residents now cycle daily, more than double the 4% recorded in 2021. Tirana is leading the Balkans with a fresh vision for mobility, proving that change is not only possible, it’s happening. 🤘🏻🚲

Most cities fight to get a minimum network of protected bikelanes. Tirana did it, but most riders are older, men. Why? Young people say 'cycling is symbol of old communist era'. Cars: gigantic status symbol. Each city is different. Urgent to make cycling cool in Tirana, for all.

Had a wonderful visit to new projects in Tirana, Albania. As mayor jokingly says, 'used to be the North Korea of Europe.' Transformed! When I began advising 9 yrs ago, there were 2 kilometers of bikelanes; now city interconnected, except far suburbs. Not perfect, but CONNECTED!

During our bike ride around Tirana, I had the chance to highlight the major investments the city has made in parks and public spaces for all generations. Tirana isn’t perfect, but it holds a special place for all of us. Step by step, it continues to improve every day. I still remember my childhood and the challenges the city faced around 2000, and it’s amazing to see how much it has transformed in such a short time. Who could have imagined?

Parks are for PEOPLE. You evaluate how good parks are if people go, stay, return; not about architectural awards. Cities need park systems: neighborhood, city, passive, active, contemplative. AAA: All Ages & Abilities. Everyone should have a park within a short walk.
