The coastal front of Athens is entering a new phase, with Palaio Faliro emerging as one of the key links in the wider chain of interventions that are changing the physiognomy of the Athens Riviera. From Flisvos Marina to Vouliagmeni and from Alimos to Elliniko, a unified coastal system of public spaces, marinas, cultural infrastructure and urban regeneration is gradually taking shape, which concerns not only the tourist image of the capital, but also the daily life of the residents. \u201cThe new outlook for the Athens Riviera can represent a major opportunity for the southern suburbs and for Palaio Faliro, provided that development remains people-centered and delivers positive outcomes for everyone. Our cities must evolve without losing their character, without drifting away from the needs of their residents, and without abandoning the elements that make them unique,\u201d states the Mayor of Palaio Faliro, Yiannis Fostiropoulos, in his contribution to the White Paper.<\/p>\n
Faliro is at the heart of this transition. It has not only a coastal zone, but one of the most directly accessible fronts of Athens towards the sea. As the Deputy Mayor of Culture and Administration of Palaio Faliro, Giorgos Prapas, points out, the special feature of the area is that the city almost directly touches the sea, as it is essentially separated from it by only one road. \u201cIn contrast to other areas of the coastal zone, where residential buildings or larger building zones are interposed between the urban fabric and the beach, in Palaio Faliro the relation ship between residents and the coastal front remains direct and daily,\u201d he notes indicatively.<\/p>\n
The concept of Metropolitan Waterfront no longer concerns only large emblematic projects. It also concerns the connection of smaller and larger interventions, which together can transform the coastal zone into the new public facade of Athens. However, the largest urban intervention in Palaio Faliro concerns the creation of the \u0391\u0395\u039d\u0391\u039f\u039d Metropolitan Park, under the responsibility of the Attica Region. The project, with a total area of 541,000 sq m and a budget of \u20ac370 million, is the largest urban regeneration project in the Attica Region and is expected to completely upgrade the coastal front of the Athens Riviera, offering citizens a modern green space, culture, sports and recreation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
