Urban Pasarela

The project is the result of comprehensive analyses of feasibility, functionality, population structure, movement and accessibility, self-sustainability, and dozens of other parameters. It will be built between the old and new parts of the neighborhood, precisely where it was planned in the original Palace of Youth project nearly five decades ago. Thus, beyond being just an overpass, it is a multifunctional urban island, with importance that goes beyond merely connecting two points in the city. The terrain configuration in the Arbëria neighborhood, with its steep slope, makes it difficult to have ample public spaces for residents. Green spaces, mini-parks with playgrounds for children, running tracks, and bike lanes will breathe life into the neighborhood and create new dimensions, while cars will continue to circulate freely underneath. To make it self-sustaining, we have designed over 2,000 square meters of ground-level commercial spaces, which can be used for business purposes. All of this, in a very modern urban island. An overpass that, in addition to connecting one neighborhood with the rest of the city, links the city with the future.
