Abstract The problematic urban sprawl has become a widespread phenomenon and a global problem, this is the reason why this research was done, to elaborate on a global problem that has also appeared in our country. A phenomenon that has more influenced the expansion of the main cities or capitals by creating industrial areas and residential areas far from the main city center. This uncontrolled urban expansion is a concern across the globe, because it has many negative effects such as: social, environmental and economic effects. According to these effects or impacts, sprawl without criteria demonstrates a threat to sustainable urban development, because it has an effect on the high consumption of land, energy and water and, above all, increases air pollution and the amount of waste. There are many factors that are affecting the growth of urban problems, but one of the main factors that dominates this trend is the migration of the population from undeveloped areas to developed urban areas, economic development, bad government policies. Tirana, the largest urban area in Albania, is the area most threatened by uncontrolled urban expansion in our country. This threat has taken off in recent years, turning into a very serious problem that needs to be analyzed and find ways to prevent this very negative phenomenon for the country. The best way to prevent uncontrolled urban expansion is proper urban planning, urban development and overcoming the consequences during rapid urban development. So the best solution to overcome uncontrolled urban sprawl is the development of sustainable urban forms, to achieve the development of a contemporary city.
