The Athens Social Atlas - in EL | EN | FR  

The Athens Social Atlas aims at highlighting and critically analysing topics concerning the social geography of Athens through multiple perspectives, focusing especially on the past 20 years. It contains texts and supporting material (...). [...] The variety of subjects and the variety in the scope of the articles explains the decision to create an unconventional online publication that would not follow the strict guidelines of a collective volume.

The articles / entries are classified into 15 main thematic groups/categories: History, Social Structure, Politics, Economy, Education, Health, Housing, Ethnic Groups, Culture, Built Environment, Planning, Transportation, Infrastructure, Neighbourhoods and Social Economy.

Partnership of the following academic and scientific bodies: HAROKOPIO UNIVERSITY Department of Geography (prof. Th. Maloutas) - main institutional framework for the research project. | The French School in Athens (EFA) | The [Hellenic] National Centre for Social Research | The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) | sponsorship: Onassis Foundation (Alexander S.
