For many years in Kosovo and the broader region, actually since the end of the war in Kosovo in 1999, UN-HABITAT has been promoting good governance, security of tenure, sustainable human settlements development and inclusive spatial planning. UN-HABITAT’s initial interventions were focused on the establishment of institutions to deal with property issues as the Housing and Property Directorate, the Kosovo Cadastre Agency, the Institute for Spatial Planning within the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning and building capacities for efficient management of local governments through LoGo (Local Government Programme) and Municipal Support Programme.

Since the conflict ended in 1999, Kosovo has been facing an unprecedented construction boom and growth of urban areas. Cities in their former boundaries are unable to provide space for new investments, which leads to unplanned and uncontrolled urban developments. Informal settlements become a common sight on the city outskirts, illegal constructions mushroom in city centers, the access to services becomes more difficult and the quality of life deteriorates. Kosovo is building a new democracy with the streamlined and modern institutions. In the area of spatial development, it is progressively moving towards European standards and international principles for sustainable urbanization and good urban governance. The resolution of property issues and incorporation of informal settlements in local development plans are one of the standards that Kosovo is expected to meet before its final status is determined.
