Like the Back of the Yards with its industrial past and the diverse working-class population, Kombinat in Tirana has a history steeped in industrial development, previously housing many workers of the city's factories. Today, Kombinat has transformed, with many of the old industrial spaces being repurposed or replaced by residential areas. Despite this shift, the community retains a strong sense of identity and togetherness. It's a more affordable part of the city, with a mixed demographic and a real local atmosphere. Frequent markets and vendor stalls give Kombinat a traditional Albanian feel.
