The proposal acknowledges the area’s existing qualities and dares to strengthen them, to give them space: The green ensembles and the emblematic rows of trees are enhanced, Eleftherias square is reorganized while maintaining its successful circular layout, the low-traffic streets are carefully redesigned based on residential accesses and the vehicular traffic axes. Selected sidewalks are widened appropriately so that pedestrian circulation remains visually unobstructed along the intervention’s entire length. The proposal’s double motif in ground and sky starts from what is already there, while at the same time constituting a new model for the three suburbs. The goal is not to overturn the existing, but to adapt to it.
