Why Are There No Sidewalks in Athens?

The lack of sidewalks in Athens has been a topic of discussion for many years, with historical references dating back to the 1990s.

During a visit in the mid-1990s, architect Aldo Rossi raised concerns about urban planning and pedestrian infrastructure in the city.

The city's layout, influenced by various factors, has resulted in limited provisions for sidewalks in many areas.

Urban development and historical preservation efforts may have contributed to the ongoing challenge of creating pedestrian-friendly spaces.

Local authorities continue to evaluate and address the issue in response to public concerns.
