REDEVELOPMENT OF A SAINT PANDEMONY SITE

The object of the project is the redevelopment of Agios Panteleimonos Square and the widening of pedestrian traffic along the streets of Pepinou, Alcibiadou and Agorakritos in the 6th DK of the Municipality of Athens. With the completion of this project, a substantial improvement of the urban environment is expected, with emphasis on the protection and promotion of elements of the public cultural heritage that exist in the intervention area. In particular: The emergence of a landmark with a translocal scope, i.e. the monumental I.N. Agios Panteleimon, which is considered the largest in the Balkans. The implementation of this project is of high priority, due to phenomena of degradation and crisis (violence, incidents of conflict, removal of businesses, empty shops and homes) in recent years, which have been reinforced by the low quality of the public space and also enhance it. With the regeneration of the square and the surrounding streets, focusing on the emergence of the existing cultural heritage, it is expected to highlight existing long-term qualities, which will help reverse the negative reality for the residents and businesses of the immediate and wider region.
