Athens Meetings
Is Athens planned? What is being planned at Athens? What are the priorities?
What are the explicit goals? Is there a “vision for Athens” today?
Co-organized by the Schwarz Foundation
and the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens
Coordinator: Andreas Giacumacatos
A series of events on the city of Athens, featuring Greek and foreign experts. This forum fosters the exchange of views aiming to inform but also reflect on what is currently planned and implemented in Athens. Is there a clear set of priorities and a strategy for the urban form, organization and programmefor the city of Athens over the next 10-20 years? Is it related to the most recent Athens Regulatory Plan, and is the plan itself being refined by individual studies, in line with all emerging data? Finally, to ask a question that has already been raised multiple times: is there a coherent concept, a “vision for Athens” as an urban and economic entity/capital of the South-Eastern Mediterranean?
