I was born in Shkoder, Albania and studied architecture in the Polytechnic University of Tirana. Since my graduation I have been working for six years in the Urban Planning Directory of the Municipality of Tirana. During the first years I have been involved in partial urban planning (which varied from parks and public spaces design to the development of new areas) while on the last three years I have been part of the team for the new Regulatory Plan (land use, transport, regulations) of Tirana 2020. The diversity of Urban and Rural environment, the challenge of the free-market economy, new technology, globalization, sustainable development, the phenomenon of informal areas and the city growing without respecting regulations, has pushed me for searching knowledge to handle the many issues of urbanization.
