Abstract:
Designing and turning streets into playable areas for children is the primary focus of this
study. The main objective of this research is to create streets in Tirana that are secure, autonomous,
and pleasurable for children. It aims to examine the factors and principles that lead to the
development of functional streets in urban design, utilizing knowledge gained from relevant case
studies. The research endeavors to employ thorough analysis in order to devise solutions for the
conversion of specific streets in Tirana into environments that are more conducive to the wellbeing
and safety of children. This undertaking will entail the examination of multiple facets,
including safety precautions, ease of access, and the deliberate incorporation of recreational
components across the urban environment. A particular street in Tirana will undergo a thorough
examination, and, using the results, will be converted into a street that can be used for recreational
activities. Engaging in collaboration with the Albanian government will be crucial in order to fight
for policy changes that give priority to the well-being of children in urban development decisions.
