This article aims to investigate the transition of housing in Albania from a centrally planned to a free-market economy, by studying practices adopted in housing production. The main argument is that, despite differentiations in urban dynamics, housing sector plays an important role in social integration processes in the post-socialist context and, at the same time, poses crucial questions about the future of Albanian cities.
