Since GO2 was founded in 2012, it has conducted several studies and publications in various fields, especially in tourism, environment and urban planning.
The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of the Municipality of Shkoder, developed by GO2 is the first document of this kind in Albania. Therefore, it is a huge work done by engaging 12 local/international experts and more than 210 volunteers. They are held 15 trainings and public hearings with different stakeholders in all Municipality of Shkoder. Over 18 months of work drafting SUMP Shkoder, more than 2 000 questionnaires have been conducted with different stakeholders in the entire territory of the Municipality of Shkoder. Every questionnaire took an average of 75 minutes to fill in data and analyze them – for all questionnaires it took in total 2 500 work hours. Meanwhile, to collect data directly from the terrain about the traffic flow, it lasted over 420 hours and about the parking measurement issues; it is worked on more than 280 hours.
PRESTO Cycling Policy Guide is translated for the first time in the Albanian language by the expert Entela Shkreli (transport planner) and published by GO2_NGO. Cycling Infrastructure (ISBN 978-9928- 4461-0- 7) is a manual that helps local and central government experts, policy makers and researchers to run cycling policies.
