The administrative axis will be transformed into a low traffic road that enables only buses and delivery services vehicles. working in the area.

Open spaces in blocks and close ended streets will be transformed into themed pocket parks.

The micro scale focuses on the neighborhoods.

After

The political and economic events of the 20th century resulted in the downgrading of 0 city central core and the loss of its historical memory.

The excessive development of private interest to the detriment of the public interest deprived the Frourio area of the role of the historic center. Since then there are have been numerous urban renewals to this area in order to revive its lost historic identity.

The main objective is to revive the areas with cultural interest and connect them with the social and economic life of the city. This research aims to restore the loss identity of the city and to create a multi – functional core. This core will establish a connection between Pineios River, Frourio Hill and City center based on urban heritage principles.
