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.

URBACT : Hydro-Heritage Cities (Innovation Transfer Network) "Culture meets nature for sustainable water and heritage management"  

PARTNERS Lead Partner : Chalandri - Greece | Elche - Spain  | Roeselare - Belgium | Rome - Italy | Serpa - Portugal | Sombor - Serbia 

Hydro-Heritage Cities network that collaborates on adapting the know-how of the Urban Innovative Actions project Cultural H.ID.RA.N.T. in diverse local contexts. Building on Chalandri’s integrated, participatory approach, the network draws inspiration from the revitalisation of a still-functioning Roman aqueduct, which was re-integrated into urban life. Hydro-Heritage Cities aims to test and refine this model as a prototype for regenerating cultural heritage sites linked to water in a sustainable, community-driven way, while also addressing climate change challenges and strengthening citizens' sense of belonging and ownership.
