the past decades have led to the Piraeus to a decrease of population, removal business and was a a inhospitable destinations for citizens and visitors.
This picture is slowly changing. You understand that if you walk to the center of the city. The construction sites of the Metro and Tram show that a major transportation change is coming.
Especially the works of the Tram do not change only the communications data, but in parallel with the project is the redevelopment of major roads in the city Gr.Lambrakis, B.George, Ethnikis Antistasseos Str., Md.Skylitsi. The works of the Subway will bring the 2020 3 new stations for the port of Piraeus. The first station “ΜΑÎΙΑΤΙΚΑ” in the region, the second station “PIRAEUS” below the present station of the Line 1 to the port, and the third station “MUNICIPAL THEATRE” in the heart of the city.
At the same time in the town of ripen, a series of interventions. A new Courthouse has been decided to create in the centre of the city, a few meters away from the Municipal Theatre. It is also planned to transfer in the Market of Piraeus and the creation of a new modern closed Market in the current building of FSO (former TROLLEY). The creation of a Metropolitan Park in Fertilisers will bring a transformation in the region and will create the first large offshore park in Piraeus.
On the other end of the Piraeus, Faliro, is created a large park with the Regeneration of the Faliro Bay, creating in a sense two poles of green for the Piraeus and all the inhabitants of the capital.
However, there is a great deal of mobility on business investments and infrastructure. The Dimand together with the Grivalia will invest 100cm.euros for the creation of business buildings in the area of Agios Dionysios, one of the most depressed today, the areas of Piraeus. We also have the home.Metaxa who wants to create a hotel unit next to the train station of Piraeus and other proposals for construction activity in the area.
Of course, the change in the image of the Piraeus comes with a series of interventions from the Municipality and the Region, such as the cleanliness that seems to no longer work very well, the regeneration of open spaces and several of the sidewalks of the city and of course the great investment of COSCO, with major new pier for cruise.
The new image of the Piraeus with a temporal prediction for 2020 will find the city a completely different, much more dynamic and with “charged batteries” to continue efforts for the “new Piraeus”.
In the drawings there is the extension of the Tram along the St. Dionysios and by the Keratsini, the lowering of the line 1 from Faliro to Piraeus with construction of another station, finding a solution for the through-traffic in section Faliro-Piraeus Port to decongest traffic within the city especially during the summer months etc.
