| dc.description | Metropolitan Tirana has experienced a drastic demographic change caused primarily by internal migratory flows. The demographic growth in Tirana has led to urban expansion and loss of productive land to the point that the regional food balance is now negative. An analysis of poverty distribution shows that urban areas have lower poverty levels and higher consumption rates per capita than rural areas. Tirana also has the highest socio-economic inequality rate: poverty levels average around 18 percent of the city population, vary considerably and are higher in the suburban mini-municipalities. The poor in Tirana are food-insecure. In 2005 the population of Tirana consumed 215 151 tonnes of food and is expected to consume 282 783 tonnes by 2016. The population is expected to reach 528 750 by 2016. | |
