Several institutions, including the university and the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, were also relocated to the north bank to reduce borders between the ethnic communities. The north bank is mostly inhabited by Muslim Albanians, Turks, and Roma, whereas Christian ethnic Macedonians predominantly reside on the south bank.<a href="#cite_note-reconstruction-43">[42]</a> The earthquake left the city with few historical monuments, apart from the Ottoman <a href="/wiki/Old_Bazaar,_Skopje" title="Old Bazaar, Skopje">Old Bazaar</a>, and the reconstruction, conducted between the 1960s and 1980s, turned Skopje into a <a href="/wiki/Modernist_architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="Modernist architecture">modernist</a> city. At the end of the 2000s, the city centre experienced profound changes. A highly controversial<a href="#cite_note-45">[44]</a> urban project, "<a href="/wiki/Skopje_2014" title="Skopje 2014">Skopje 2014</a>", was adopted by the municipal authorities to give the city a more monumental and historical aspect, and thus to transform it into a proper national capital. Several neoclassical buildings destroyed in the 1963 earthquake were rebuilt, including the national theatre, and streets and squares were refurbished. Many other elements were also built, including fountains, statues, hotels, government buildings and bridges. The project has been criticized because of its cost and its historicist aesthetics.<a href="#cite_note-objections-46">[45]</a> The large Albanian minority felt it was not represented in the new

Macedonians live south of the <a href="/wiki/Vardar" title="Vardar">Vardar</a>, in areas massively rebuilt after 1963, and Muslims live on the northern side, in the oldest neighbourhoods of the city. These neighbourhoods are considered more traditional, whereas the south side evokes to Macedonians modernity and rupture from rural life.<a href="#cite_note-thiesen57-50">[49]</a> The northern areas are the poorest.

Šuto Orizari, on the northern edge of the city, is a municipality of its own, with <a href="/wiki/Romani_language" title="Romani language">Romani</a> as its local official language.

Central heating is often not affordable, and so households often burn firewood, as well as used car tyres, various plastic garbage, petroleum, and other possible flammable waste, which emits toxic chemicals harmful to the population, especially to children and the elderly.<a href="#cite_note-aljazeera-54">[53]</a> The city's smog has reduced its air quality and affected the health of many of its citizens, many of whom have died from pollution-related illnesses.

It uses a <a href="/wiki/Traffic_light" title="Traffic light">Traffic light</a> system, with purple for heavily polluted air, red for high levels detected, amber for moderate levels detected, and green for when the air is safe to inhale.<a href="#cite_note-56">[55]</a> The application relies on both government and volunteer <a href="/wiki/Sensor" title="Sensor">sensors</a> to track hourly air pollution. Unfortunately, government sensors are frequently inoperable and malfunctioning, causing the need for more low-cost, but less accurate, volunteer sensors to be put up by citizens. Faults on government sensors are especially frequent when the pollution is measured is extremely high, according to the AQILHC (Air Quality Index Levels of Health Concern).<a href="#cite_note-57">[56]</a> Skopje topped the ranks in December 2017 as one of the most polluted cities in the world.<a href="#cite_note-58">[57]</a> In 2017, as part of the city's efforts to reduce pollution, a <a href="/wiki/CityTrees" title="CityTrees">CityTree</a> was installed, and promoted by German ambassador Christine Althauser.<a href="#cite_note-59">[58]</a> On 29 November 2019, a march, organized by the Skopje Smog Alarm <a href="/wiki/Activism" title="Activism">activist community</a>,<a href="#cite_note-skopje-smog-60">[59]</a> attracted thousands of people who opposed the government's lack of action in dealing with the city's pollution, which has worsened since 2017, contributing to around 1300 deaths annually.<a href="#cite_note-61">[60]</a><a href="#cite_note-skopje-smog-60">[59]</a><div class="thumb tnone" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;overflow:hidden;width:auto;max-width:1299px"><div class="thumbinner"><div class="noresize" style="overflow:auto"><a href="/wiki/File:%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5,_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_,_Skopje,_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="A panoramic view of the smog in the central area of Skopje"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg/1291px-%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg" decoding="async" width="1291" height="118" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg/1937px-%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg/2582px-%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5%2C_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%2C_Skopje%2C_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6000" data-file-height="547" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B3_-_photo_by_Giotto_%D0%A1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5,_%D0%A0._%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_,_Skopje,_R._Macedonia_-_panoramio.jpg" title="File:Скопски смог - photo by Giotto Скопје, Р.

These individual Sipahis were closely related by descent and blood, and taking account kinship ties, even though they had heterogeneous, Christian, Slavic and Oriental names, they appear to have been Albanians.

[48] (One common objection to this argument, claiming that 'sc-' in Latin should have turned into 'h-', not 'shk-' in Albanian, rests on a chronological error, and can be disregarded.) [49] There are also some fairly convincing derivations of Slav names for rivers in northern Albania - particularly the Bojana (Alb.: Buena) and the Drim (Alb.: Drin) - which suggest that the Slavs must have acquired their names from the Albanian forms.
