The conference aims to encourage a debate on architecture and urban planning in Albania, in the conviction that the development processes of modern Albania, to which both Italian and Albanian scholars, architects and engineers have contributed, will be able to emerge in the debate in order to investigate its various aspects, even more than has been done to date.
