This document outlines an urban planning project conducted by a student in Thessaloniki, Greece. It includes: 1) Analysis of a neighborhood in Ano Poli, including building quality, land use, demographics and infrastructure. Maps were created to document current conditions. 2) Proposals developed for urban regeneration, including underground parking, public green spaces, and pedestrian paths. Concept sketches illustrate one block redevelopment idea. 3) The document lists other urban planning projects conducted throughout the student's academic semesters, focusing on topics like regional strategic planning, urban design, cultural studies, and thesis work.

The study area is located in the northwestern boundary of Ano Poli,
which is part of the old city of Thessaloniki and extends within the
Byzantine city walls. This is a purely residential area with buildings of
traditional local architecture, single deck or double deck, which range
from moderate to poor condition. Shortcomings have been noticed in

D uring the course "Urban Space and Urban Transport" students
were asked to study the urban transportation system of the city
of Veria. In particular, it was assigned to each group of students
to study a city bus line as far as its operating characteristics are
concerned. The study group consisted of three people and the project
In the second phase of work, the aim was to develop a new bus line and
the calculation of its operating characteristics. Thus, it was necessary to
make an initial assessment of the degree of service to residents by the
already existing routes. The assessment showed that there are areas in
the city of Veria that are not served by the existing route network. One of
was completed within a month. these areas is the north part of the city, which is a purely residential area
and the standard way to access the city center is by car or taxi. Based on
Specifically, my group initially was asked to study a suburban route the needs of local residents for work and services we designed a new bus
connecting the city of Veria with two neighboring villages. We recorded line, along with its the accompanying supporting infrastructures, while
the bus stops and the main land uses that are adjacent to the route. we estimated the zones of influence and the areas to be served by the

bus line. On this basis, we have reached conclusions on the reasons that
have led to the creation of the specific route which are work and the

Questions regarding:
1. The influence that probably movements have on a culture
2. The influence between human and natural environment
Possible Answers:
1. Movement = change/ Immobility= stability
2. Every cultural aspect (geography, society, economy, collective feeling) are directly connected to space and its characteristics
