The helicopter crashed on Wednesday 5 November, 2008, while flying on a military exercise. Dimiris was 36 years old, married to Katerina, and father of Vasilis aged 6 and Anastasis aged 3 and a half. Born in Athens, he received primary and high school education in Agia Paraskevi village and in Levadeia, where he moved with his family. He, then, moved again to Athens, where he under took training at the Hellenic Military Academy. He studied Economics and received his Bachelor’s degree in Financial Management from the University of Piraeus. He then w'ent on to complete a Master’s Degree with the Department of Planning and Regional Development of the University of Thessaly. A year later, he concluded his studies with the Economics Department of the same institution, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, before he enrolled in a Ph.D. programme with the Department of Planning and Regional Development. Dimitris was an exceptional character and an outstanding student; a very talented personality, highly profes sional, and always generous in offering a helping hand to colleagues and friends, he was a man w'ho was full of energy, ambitions and kindness. His colleagues and friends, the staff of the Department, and indeed everyone who ever met him, will never forget his charismatic and wonderful personality. In every respect he was a promising member of the academic society. A representative part of his research, authored by Dimitris and his Ph.D. supervisors Yannis Psycharis and Paschalis Arvanitidis, is included in this book. As a small expression of gratitude we dedicate this volume to his memory.

It presents a significant part of the contribution of the staff of this Department. The papers presented in this volume, as will become evident to the reader, comprise a contribution from the DPRD to the discussion of planning and development in Greece and further afield. We live in a changing world. Greece, in the post-Olympic era, is under going further transformations regarding the economy (both as a whole and locally) and the country itself. These transformations relate to the country’s priorities that have s\vitched form being concentrated in Athens area (a conscientious selec tion for the hosting of the 2004 Olympics) to a more balanced distribution which includes the periphery of the country, hence reviving the discussion regarding regional development and spatial planning.
