  11. By the end of 19th century the intensive urbanization was the result of the industrial revolution under the main motivation of the economic development. Therefore, in the urban coastal zone of Attica there are houses, industries, oil plants, industries of energy production, military installations, ports and their infrastructures, Shipyards, marinas, athletic facilities, parks, protected areas, tourist facilities (restaurants, bars, cafeterias) etc

  14. The municipality of Drapetsona is situated in the west of the central port of Piraeus. Its vicinity with the port was the result of its industrial development. The area of Drapetsona was known since ancient times, but only at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th did the area begin to grow with the construction of the dry dock of Vasiliadis (1893), the fertilizers’ factory (1909), the cement factory (1911), the plaster factory (1920) etc. The sovereign elements of the Population of Drapetsona are the immigrants from Asia Minor and Pontus.

  15. The case study area, which is under transformation is 640.000 m2

  16. Fertilizer's factory

  17. The Hellenic Chemical Products and FertilizersCompany Ltd (AEEHP and Fertilizers) was built in 1909 and spread in 250.000 m2 . It was the first industry in Greece that produced fertilizers and products of glass, for internal and external trade. The factory developed for about 90 years. In the end of 1980 it fell into decline and finally closed in 1999. Most of the buildings of the factory were demolished and the whole area is under transformation with the aim to become from an industrial to a recreation one.

  18. The future seems doubtful… The strength of this area is the prospect of the transformation, which will create opportunities as well as threats. The weaknesses: The area was an industrial one for 100 years, which caused the degradation of the environment and the bad quality of life. The opportunities are the opening of the sea front to the citizens as well as their participation in making decision. The threats are the planning of the transformation according to market law. Which will be the model of management of this area ?

  20. Transformation SCENARIOS • MetropolitanPark:maritime force and tradition of the Port of Piraeus • Maritime Office and Buildings, Conference Centers • Tourist Infrastructures, Marinas for the berth of sailing yachts • High class residences • Shopping malls • Centers of commercialized entertainment. • Museums

  21. Alternative transformation suggestion • Construction of a recreation park, which will be an opening to the sea front (expropriation of the territory for reasons of public interest and in favor of the local society). • In order, for a citizen to enjoy a tolerable quality life • within the limits of a city zone, 5-8 square meters of • green per citizen are required. • Nowadays, only 1,5 square meter of green correspond • to each inhabitant in the city of Piraeus.
