Kosmas Metropolitan Area (“Hellinikon”) on the site of the Athens former international airport and the adjacent coastal front at the core of the area known as the “Athens Riviera”. The Hellinikon site is under privatization according to the provisions of a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, already ratified by L.4422/2016.

The map is related to a database management system constructed according to the project’s special needs, including geotechnical and geological data mainly obtained by boreholes and trial pits. The main map (11 sheets) is accompanied by three thematic maps at an original scale 1:50.000 (hydrogeological, tectonic) and 1:250.000 (seismic epicenters map). It constitute a basic tool for every activity of the Prefecture’s services, in relation to urban development, civil and environmen- tal protection policy, sustainable management of natural resources, continual data supply to citizens and to the technical world. The main advantage of the digital map is the ability of constant updating of the related database, while this procedure should be established to serve social needs.

The sale of the former airport and the Agios Kosmas waterfront will generate revenues of nearly one fifth or less of the estimated revenues two years earlier. The estimated revenues then would reach €5 billion, whereas today the expected revenues reach €300 million, and up to €500 million. The costs of accompanying infrastructure works, the costs of important, required and/or supplementary urban infrastructure construction and/or reconstruction projects, as well as the relocation costs of state organizations that operate today within the site of Hellinikon, will be covered by the Greek state.
