A delegation of Ferizaj/Urosevac municipality and MuSPP- UN-HABITAT visited the Mobility center of Lund/ Sweden

Transport Department of Lund Municipality welcomed Ferizaj/Urosevac delegation. The visit took place from 20 – 23 of November 2006. Representation of Ferizaj/Urosevac municipality included Mr. Faik Grainca (Municipal Mayor), Mr. Dugagjin Etemi (Chief Executive Officer), Mr. Mustafe Zariqi (Head of Urban Planning Sector) and three representatives from the “Municipal Spatial Planning Support Programme” (MuSPP) from UN-HABITAT. The group was also accompanied by a National TV (RTK) team.

Participants in this study visit had a chance to see how public transport (both bus and railway) is organised and how it is functioning. The visit to Lund was not decided casually. Lund has more or less the same size and the same population as Ferizaj/Urosevac, and both cities have a special characteristic in that the railway goes through the middle of the city.

“From this visit we were convinced of the importance of having the railway in the city center integrated with other systems of public transport. The idea of the project, the so called “Mobility center”, is a great input in improving the life of citizens. Therefore our field visit made us think seriously about how to approach the same problem in our municipality in compliance with our conditions and budget” said Dugagjin Etemi, the Chief Executive Officer.
