The Greenways in Athens

Abstract

Greenways are corridors of undevoped land in a city setting. They include vegeration belts, creeks, rivers,floodplains and other natural features along public infrastructures. Public infrastructures consist of utility networks, roadways, rail corridors and other constructs that facilitate public usage of green space (Rink and Searns, 1993; Little, 1990, Georgi and Sarikou, 20o6). Greenwars are increasingly recognized as an integral part of these infrastructures.
