Elbasan Climate-Neutral Innovation in Mobility - ECT activity

eCIM addresses Elbasan's rapid shift to car dependency by creating a smart mobility corridor on Aqif Pasha Boulevard. The project combines physical infrastructure (pop-up bicycle lanes, smart crossings), institutional innovation (cross-departmental collaboration, policy testing sandbox), and community engagement (university student partnerships) to demonstrate that sustainable mobility is possible. By building local capacity and generating real-time data, eCIM creates a replicable model for Balkan cities transitioning away from car-centric development. The specific challenges: Car use doubled to 41% in a decade while walking/cycling dropped to 44%. Transport produces 31.9% of city emissions. Only 1 km of bicycle lane exists despite 1,681 km of roads. City lacks mobility data systems, technical expertise, and cross- departmental coordination to manage sustainable transport. Objectives Develop comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Test 1000m temporary "pop-up" bicycle lane with real-time data Install smart pedestrian crossings with air quality sensors Establish Inter-departmental Task Force (40+ stakeholders) Create Policy Sandbox for testing mobility regulations safely Launch "Mobility Students" program with university Train municipal staff in data-driven mobility planning Develop public-private partnership and green procurement models ECT= Enabling City Transformation

Green and Sustainable Energy in Elbasan Buildings - Elbasan pilot activity

Green ELB is developing an integrated and locally grounded model for improving the energy performance of residential buildings in Elbasan, with the longer-term ambition of enabling their transformation into near-zero-emission structures. The project responds directly to one of the city’s central climate challenges: the high level of emissions associated with the residential building sector, combined with the social and economic constraints that often prevent households from investing in energy-efficiency improvements. By bringing together technical assessment, behavioural insight, local governance, and community participation, GreenELB is creating a practical pathway for cleaner, more efficient, and more affordable homes in Elbasan, while generating lessons that can inform replication in other Albanian municipalities and across the Western Balkans.

Elbasan's Pilot Activity: GreenElb - NetZeroCities
Background Elbasan’s first greenhouse gas emissions inventory, conducted in 2023, shows that 28.3% of emissions are from energy consumption in buildings and 15.9% from non-electric energy, with 96.8% of emissions specifically attributable to private residential buildings. This high proportion not only
