Greenways in Athens, Greece: Enhancing connectivity through a greenway network in a contemporary European metropolis

The Greenway Plan is a Network of green corridors, including open spaces and parks in Athens.Its objective is to bring together strategies for parks and urban landscapes, creating a novel andalternative vision of Athens Urban Web. The design approaches used in other countries have not been adopted in Athens as a matter of public urban policy and due to limited funds and lack of incentives. Since 2018, when the design was financed by Green Funds, the results were presented in 3 Athenian municipalities. This paper introduces innovative ecological and sustainable strategies that can be extended to whole Athens web.
