The Plan is a direct consequence of the administrative reform wanted by the Ministry of Urban Development and finalized at the end of 2014 covering the entire national territory, which in fact has redefined the structure and administrative geography of Albania, subdividing it into 61 new structural units. Today the new municipality of Tirana covers a surface 25 times bigger than the previous one, including small and medium-sized urban entities (the so-called “ex communes”) and also including smaller towns and villages scattered all over and within the new borders.
