Kamëz (Albanian definite form: Kamza) is a municipality in Tirana County, Albania.[1] It was formed at the 2015 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities Kamëz and Paskuqan, that became municipal units. The seat of the municipality is the town Kamëz.[2] The total population is 104,190 (2011 census),[3] in a total area of 37.20 km2.[4] The population of the former municipality at the 2011 census was 66,841.[3]
Kamëz was one of the applicants for the 2019 European Green Capital Awards,[5] which was won by Oslo.[6]

Following the post 1990s Albanian population movements, the area experienced massive influxes of inhabitants from all over Albania. The newly formed city is known to bear impressive street names belonging to international personalities, capital cities, and organizations, such as Donald Trump Street.
