Integrated Rehabilitation Project Plan/Survey of the Architectural and Archaeological Heritage (IRPP/SAAH),
run jointly with the European Commission
Kosovo*
 As Kosovo* progresses towards political and social
stability, its rich archaeological and architectural
heritage is ever more prey to the development
pressures which accompany the burgeoning
market economy. In the city centres of Pristina,
Prizren, Gjakova and Peja, it is the old urban
vernacular architecture of wood and brick which
is giving way to the new commercial over-scale
steel and glass buildings, to the detriment of
historical continuity and the human scale. These
centres exemplify the need for intense collaboration
between historic buildings experts and
archaeologists on the one hand, and spatial and
environmental planners on the other, enabling
the development of schemes which preserve the
best of the past in its context while permitting
urban economic growth. Although the major historic
monuments in the city centres are protected,
they are nevertheless subject to severe erosion
through the degradation of their surroundings.
In this climate, action is urgently needed to arrest
the processes of unchecked urban development
which is likely to destroy the most attractive and
interesting parts of these cities. Since the adoption
of the Cultural Heritage Law in 2006, the situation
presents a new and powerful opportunity. The restoration
and economically viable re-use of buildings
should be regarded as a catalyst for wider
urban interventions, including the construction of
new buildings and embracing the needs and aspirations
of residents in the provision of modern, livable
urban spaces which retain their connection
with the historic vestiges of previous generations.
