| Summary: | The article discusses the process of heritage development in Albania. The issue is first placed in the country’s historical path, then in the city and in the Stacioni i Trenit district, which housed the central station, destroyed in 2013, and agricultural facilities, dismantled after the political change in 1990. This complex now takes the form of a twenty-five hectare wasteland, characterized by a variety of informal uses, the unfinished reprivatization of land, and a major urban transformation project. We will explore how the agricultural and railway legacies of Stacioni i Trenit are practiced, identified and used by the different actors in this context, and to what extent the heritageization process becomes a revealer of social and spatial dynamics on a larger scale in Tirana and Albania today. Datas presented in the text is the result of a multidisciplinary research associating urban planning, architecture, sociology and anthropology since 2018. |
