Taking Action

Athens and other cities in Europe and around the world are challenged by issues that require far-reaching decisions and urban actions, including the distribution and design of (public) space, decision-making, long-term planning and implementation.

Transforming Athens’ Urban Landscapes is a two-day symposium that aims to contribute to the multifaceted debate on the future and the restructuring of our cities towards healthier, greener, more liveable, equitable and resilient environments.

The symposium will bring together Greek and international experts from the field of architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, academic researchers and teachers, as well as representatives of City of Athens actively involved in the transformation of our cities, to share their experiences and present their approaches to current and future urban change. Fundamental questions related to the transformation of Athens will be discussed: How can we respond to climate change and spatial inequalities? How can we turn the lack of spatial resources and conflicting goals and interests into a catalyst for new approaches and cooperation? How can new models of cooperation be established to share knowledge and translate this knowledge into action?
