From the author: The Albanian landscape reveals four legacies of communism: reclamation of the Myzeqe Plain, new urban centers, use of the Drin River as a source of hydroelectricity, and the creation of socialist Tirana. These legacies evolved under a policy of self-reliance and rural development that was unique in Eastern Europe. Nationalism led to refusal of aid from other communist countries, but the influence of the former Soviet Union on ideology and planning models is undeniable. In a wide context these legacies raise questions about a socialist landscape and aspects of equity, environmental quality, and modernization in them.
