As explained by the technical adviser of the Mayor of Thessaloniki, Dimitris Mitrou, the Municipality’s planning concerns targeted interventions in ten commercial streets, which were selected after cooperation with the local municipal communities – through relevant decisions of their councils – and after a technical check by the competent technical service of the Municipality of Thessaloniki.
In particular, the interventions are aimed at the following streets: Egnatia, Olympou, Koloniari, Panagia Faneromeni, Klathmonos, Papafi, 25 Martiou, Markos Botsaris, Venizelou (Triandria), Eleftherias (Triandria).
Urban greenery
Within the framework of planned projects urban greenery will be augmented, garbage bins will be underground, the accessibility of people with disabilities will be improved, the sidewalks will be reconstructed and lighting will be upgraded with low energy consumption bulbs.
The design of the Municipality of Thessaloniki also includes smart systems and applications, such as the creation of seating areas where electronic devices can be charged with the help of photovoltaic panels, the installation of a parking prevention system on disabled access ramps, the installation of a centrally controlled irrigation water management system and the placement of smart pedestrian crossings.
Maps will be placed in the commercial zones to facilitate their visitors, while a series of interventions are planned to improve the microclimate in the areas under reconstruction.
