Qualitative interviews were conducted with city officials from the municipalities of Lushnje and Vlora in Albania, as well as Kalamata and Trifilia in Greece. The interviews were coded and analyzed using theoretical frameworks in sustainability and sustainable development. The findings reveal that city officials not only understand the importance of sustainability but also actively promote and implement it through initiatives aimed at improving local infrastructure, waste management, and biodiversity. Despite recognizing the challenges that hinder sustainable development, they succeed in raising awareness through educational programs, particularly those involving the youth. (Less)
