Another issue that Prime Minister Edi Rama was asked during the interview in "Opinion" was the construction of towers.
From the top of the Pyramid, the head of the government told the journalist Blendi Fevziu that the capital still has few towers. According to him, the towers have given a completely different energy to the city.
Rama thinks that tomorrow Tirana will be a tourist destination for architecture as well. "People will come to see the towers in Tirana", he replied to Fevzi.
It is a city that when you see it is with towers. There are people who like it. There are people who think that concreting is the gangrene that is happening to the city and these towers, when I asked the Mayor, they are given by KKT, not by me. Does Tirana have a market for these towers that are sold for 5-6 thousand Euros per square meter and it is not known who buys them? And secondly, is this the solution for the development of the city?
Edi Rama: There are still a few before work.
After all, they are few. Today I read that you gave 12 more...
Edi Rama: Then these are fantasies. The tower is not the 13-14-15 floor buildings. Towers are buildings with more than 20 floors and they are actually few.
When will these be many? What will these towers deal with, who will work?
Edi Rama: And I believe that 3 new ones were given, one is there between the two of them, the other one is on Bulevardi i Ri, another one is down near 21 Djetori.
How many floors?
Edi Rama: They are high, they are high.
What development will Albania have? Many beach areas are being eaten up, high-rise hotels are being built.
Edi Rama : For the first time, these towers have given a completely different energy to the city. Today, Tirana has become a city where the world's best architects build. Tomorrow, Tirana will be a tourist destination for architecture as well. People will come to see the towers in Tirana. There is a part of tourism that is architecture tourism and here are some of the world's greatest architects who build, who design.
Do you think the city with towers will develop?
Edi Rama: Look at what Tel Aviv has done, which is a city that more or less from the past has a similar texture to Tirana, and look at what is happening in Tel Aviv with all the new developments that are being made, the towers and above. etc., etc. Tirana has this potential to develop upward in a part of it that is around.
