“Citizens for the Park” march against construction at Tirana’s Lake Park

← Back to Dashboard
📅 19 March 2016 📍 Albania

Residents and civic activists marched from City Hall toward the Artificial Lake Park to oppose a municipal playground project and what they described as the growing concreting of shared green space. The protest ended at the construction site, where clashes took place as activists tried to cross a police cordon. The campaign treated urban nature as a common good and asked who gets to decide how the city is built.
