New urban planning proposals pave the way for more construction in already densely populated areas
Published
The Greek government is advancing new urban planning proposals that could allow the construction of almost 1.85 million additional square metres. The proposals concern areas that, according to the available data, already have high levels of building and a large population density.
The square metres that could be added relate mainly to increasing the building coefficient in selected areas of cities. In this way, new buildings or extensions of existing buildings would be permitted. Supporters of the changes say the move could increase the supply of housing, while critics fear that living conditions will deteriorate, with issues such as traffic congestion, a lack of green spaces and pressure on infrastructure.
The issue has sparked debate among politicians, engineers and residents. The changes are still in progress and will have to go through the necessary procedures before they are implemented. Citizens can follow the progress of the proposals through the competent authorities and the public consultation process.
