One of the few remaining green areas in Tirana is expected to be concreted. Initially, the area above the Paris Municipality was concreted, which was named "Hill of the Sun". Then, buildings were built above the Botanical Garden, surrounding it from all sides. If we compare it with 15 years ago, the Botanical Garden has only 1/3 of its surface. Part of it was taken up by the road and much of the rest by the building complexes.

Meanwhile, massive concrete has been poured in the Artificial Lake area. Initially below the dam, where Bashkim Ulaj has built, which is continuing to build after recently receiving a permit from KKT, for a 58-story tower. Then there was construction near the Zoo, again from all sides, "forcing" the animals to live in a habitat much smaller than was designed. And, as the construction is merging with Sauk, where complexes have been built throughout that area, not even the green hills with olive trees are being spared from the concrete. Next to the Lake Park, that area was the only green part.

But, in all this concrete mass, a company has started advertising online a massive apartment project across that hill.

The project has been advertised by one of the companies that is obtaining permits throughout Albania, the firm Bega 07. The owner of the company, Arben Muçobega, is building on the coast, mainly in Himara, Llaman or even Dhërmi. But there are also projects in Tirana and Durrës and all the permits have been obtained from the KKT, with the signature of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

And, when concrete is being poured in bulk on the coast, it could not be missing in the olive groves, in the hills of Tirana. On the internet, the firm writes that the project is called "Centaurea".

"Between the city and nature. Centaurea is being built as a new urban landscape, which respects the environment and offers a quiet, green and city-connected lifestyle. A residential destination where the rhythm of nature and the energy of Tirana come together in harmony," the company writes.

But, to advertise that you are building in a green zone and say that you are respecting nature, only builders and those who give permits believe it. How can you pour concrete in a green zone and write that you are protecting it? Of course, there is and will be construction, but to take the breath away from the city, to take away the oxygen and not leave any green zone, this is not about business, but about destruction. However, when the firm comes from the top, then everyone, even law enforcement institutions, just shrugs their shoulders.

The latest operations to free up public spaces in the city are just a facade of all the permits that the government is granting. To hide the massive concrete in parks and green areas, the government is taking actions for show. If every government would prioritize nature and public spaces, then why is it granting massive concrete permits in these areas?!
