• Later on the SWOT analysis was broken into individual tables for each field

Environment

• Appropriate geometrical characteristics (adequate road width, public and private open spaces)

• Appropriate road orientation • Rich urban biodiversity • Degraded urban environment • Land uses conflict (car repair shops, construction sites) • Unsuitable thermal comfort conditions

Water

• Presence of underground water • Natural flow of rain water due to road slope • Insufficient drainage system • Degraded surface water infrastructures (fountain) • Waste of water • Flood risk

Energy

• Limited energy consumptions due to limited need for transportation (mixed uses, metro)

• Potential site for renewable energy (positive solar orientation of road axis)

• Inefficient building structures (degraded and old) • Reduction of activity density

Health and happiness

• Sport facilities in the neighborhood and connectivity with major sports centers (Paok stadium, Poseidonio)

• Proximity to waterfront • Forest view • Unhealthy environmental conditions • Economic crisis • Lack of safety

Conclusions

• Initial, interim proposals were created • They were presented along with the proposals of the other teams

• The comments of all teams were taken into account • A more compatible proposal was created

“Karakasi str – From a green axis to modular green neighbourhoods”

Our strategy:

Strategic Targets: • Reinforcement of biodiversity • Reduction of energy consumption • Unification of public space

12

Reinforcement of biodiversity

• Green roof on the elementary school

• Releasing trees to their natural environment

• Community gardens in proximity to the food market

Reduction of energy consumption

• Installation of photovoltaic panels on the flea market (south orientation)

Unification of public space

• Unification of uncovered spaces with each other, with the open spaces and

formation of a network

• Undergrounding of the parking lot next to the flea market

• Pedestrianization – retention of pavement height, heightening of the road

• Pedestrian walkways widening in front of central stores

• City plan change

• Bicycle roads

• Green lanes

• Infrastructures upgrade

• Purchases of private open spaces
