In a post on social media on Tuesday, Koçiu described the event as a meeting point for visions and ideas aimed at building cities that are more liveable, smarter and closer to citizens’ needs.

During the Forum, Koçiu underlined the importance of creating safe, resilient and inclusive cities in the face of global challenges linked to housing, urbanisation and climate change.

She also presented Albania’s priorities for future urban development, focused on strengthening climate resilience, investing in urban quality and advancing the “Smart City” initiative through the use of technology and intelligent systems.

“Albania today is a concrete example of how political vision and strategic investments can transform cities and the country’s economic model,” Koçiu said during the Forum proceedings.

The World Urban Forum 2026 is regarded as one of the leading international platforms dedicated to urban development, housing and urban sustainability.
