In Greece, Case Study Athens Supervisor: Dr University of Utrecht Faculty of Geoscience Msc Urban Geography Sofia Koukoura 5644216 Master Thesis: The birth and evolution of ‘Do-It- Yourself urbanism’ in Greece, case study Athens Supervisor: Dr. Irina van Aalst Sofia Koukoura The birth and evolution of DIY urbanism in Greece, Case study Athens Acknowledgements I would like to start my thesis by explaining that after finishing my thesis, I am feeling more complete as I have now gained knowledge of Spatial Planning and Urban Geography. I am able to identify the spatial problems, give solutions to them and in parallel understand the theories behind them as I have taught in Utrecht University and University of Thessaly. So for the completion of this thesis, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Irina van Aalst for her assistance for the preparation of this work and her valuable guidance during these months. Her guidance was important for me as I was unfamiliar with the new educational system and during our meetings I realized that the quantitative research is very important as my background (in planning and regional development), missed this kind of quality. Also, I would like to thank Marco Helbich that gave me helpful feedbacks during the mid-term presentation and make realize in what I should focus more in my thesis. Moreover I would like to thank all the interviewees that participated in my thesis. Finally, I would like to thank the family, that believed in me and supported me in many ways to achieve my goals and my dreams during the years of my education. Also I would like to thank my friends especially Maria, Nikolina and George for listening my anxieties and supporting me psychologically during the time period of the Master program regardless the geographical distance. Also, during the Master program I made new valuable friends Anje, Eva and Wendy with who I shared the same anxieties for the future and for the Master program during our dinners. Sofia Koukoura November 2016 1 Sofia Koukoura The birth and evolution of DIY urbanism in Greece, Case study Athens Abstract The planning field for a long period of time followed a top-down approach and it was controlled by urban planners and the authorities (eg. Somarakis & Stratigea, 2016). But since 1960 this way of thinking was criticized and bottom-up approaches emerged, that would incorporate the opinion of the citizens into the planning system (Serraos, 2015). Hence, during this period of time Do-It-Yourself urbanism arose that is now driven from the citizens themselves by intervening to the city and reclaiming their right for a livable and user-friendly city (Iveson, 2013). In this thesis the main research question is how Do-It-Yourself (DIY) urbanism in Greece (and especially in Athens) started and how it has been evolved through the years. In more particular, it is studied what were the explanations of the development of DIY urbanism in Greece, what is the aim of the initiators and if it has changed through the years. Last but not least, it was studied the relationship between the municipality of Athens and the selected urban initiatives, if the municipality of Athens has identified this kind of urbanism in the urban fabric and how it reacts to it. Also, it was studied how the selected urban initiatives perceive the stance of the local authorities. Studying the existing literature for the Do-It-Yourself urbanism, we understood that on theoretical level it was used approaches about the production of space and more importantly about the right of the citizens to their city (Lefebvre, 1968). As Lefebvre proposed that the citizens ought to make their space through appropriation and their participation to the decision-making procedures. Also, in theoretical level they were used theories for the criticism of the top-down approach in planning, governance through community theories, the neoliberalism model and the economic crisis of the South European countries are the answer of the development of the DIY urbanism. Hence it was expected that the above mentioned theories were the driving forces of the DIY urbanism and regarding the goals of the urban initiatives are focusing not only at the improvement of their built environment but also the improvement of the social networks at their neighborhood. Regarding the expectations for the relationship between the local authorities and the initiators based on the literature are in a quandary. In Athens, Greece the assumptions for the development of the DIY urbanism were confirmed and it was also added the development of the Greek cities and the problems that emerged such as high density, fragmented and limited public space. Regarding the second research question, the assumptions about the goals of the urban initiatives were confirmed, as the selected groups aim for the amelioration of their built environment and then the strengthening of the social ties. Moreover, after the strike of the economic and refugees crisis, their goals were directed to solidarity in order to aid the weaker socially fellow citizens. Last but not least, regarding the relationship between the local authorities and the selected urban initiatives, it was found that municipality of Athens attempts to follow a more collaborative model of governance and include civil society. It recognizes the presence of urban initiatives and has taken measures for their support such as creating „SynAthina‟ platform and office. From the other side through the interviews it was found that the initiators perceived that there is still a barrier between the local authorities and the groups for example due to bureaucracy and the nature of the character of the groups. 2 Sofia Koukoura The birth and evolution of DIY urbanism in Greece, Case study Athens Contents Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................... 1 1.

  • Cultural Heritage in the Realm of the Commons: Conversations on the Case of Greece
    CHAPTER 10 Commoning Over a Cup of Coffee: The Case of Kafeneio, a Co-op Cafe at Plato’s Academy Chrysostomos Galanos The story of Kafeneio Kafeneio, a co-op cafe at Plato’s Academy in Athens, was founded on the 1st of May 2010. The opening day was combined with an open, self-organised gather- ing that emphasised the need to reclaim open public spaces for the people. It is important to note that every turning point in the life of Kafeneio was somehow linked to a large gathering. Indeed, the very start of the initiative, in September 2009, took the form of an alternative festival which we named ‘Point Defect’. In order to understand the choice of ‘Point Defect’ as the name for the launch party, one need only look at the press release we made at the time: ‘When we have a perfect crystal, all atoms are positioned exactly at the points they should be, for the crystal to be intact; in the molecular structure of this crystal everything seems aligned. It can be, however, that one of the atoms is not at place or missing, or another type of atom is at its place. In that case we say that the crystal has a ‘point defect’, a point where its struc- ture is not perfect, a point from which the crystal could start collapsing’. How to cite this book chapter: Galanos, C. 2020. Commoning Over a Cup of Coffee: The Case of Kafeneio, a Co-op Cafe at Plato’s Academy. In Lekakis, S. (ed.)

The great marble masterpieces were constructed during the late 5th-century BC reign of Perikles, the Golden Age of Athens. Most were temples built to honour Athena, the city’s patron goddess.

  • The Case of Athens During the Refugee Crisis
    The Newcomers’ Right to the Common Space: The case of Athens during the refugee crisis Charalampos Tsavdaroglou Post-Doc Department of Planning and Regional Development School of Engineering, University of Thessaly [email protected] Abstract The ongoing refugee streams that derive from the recent conflict in the Middle East are a central issue to the growing socio-political debate about the different facets of contemporary crisis. While borders, in the era of globalization, constitute porous passages for capital goods and labor market, at the same time they function as new enclosures for migrant and refugee populations. Nevertheless, these human flows contest border regimes and exclusionary urban policies and create a nexus of emerging common spaces. Following the recent spatial approaches on “commons” and “enclosures” (Dellenbaugh et al., 2015; Harvey, 2012; Stavrides, 2016) this paper focuses on the dialectic between the refugees’ solidarity housing commons and the State-run refugee camps. Particularly, I examine the case of Greece, a country that is situated in the South-East-End of the European Union close to Asia and Africa; hence it is in the epicenter of the current refugee crisis and I pinpoint in the case of Athens, the capital of Greece and the main refugee transit city.
