Athens' Organization and Politics

Before anything, we would like to thank you (our dear Greek colleagues!) to have invited us to this debate platform. After this last post about Athens' relation with archaeology, I would like to ask your opinion about Athens' organization.

1_What do you think the Kallikrates reform will change in the government? Will it really work?

2_What is the relation between citizens and government? Do you identify yourself into it? Are you well represented? Do you really care about it or are you not politicaly involved?

3_How is Urban Planning decided in Athens? We haven't find any zoning plan on the official website, do they really exist or are they just unavailable to the public?

4_How do you do to ask an construction permit? What are the Building rules to respect?

5_What do you think is the most correct division of the city: the informal "Neighborhoods" or the oficial "Districts" ? Are the Districts' government really close to the people?

6_What is working or NOT working in the governement in your opinion?


Here is the link to the district division plan of wikipedia

I am going to publish an example of our previous work, so you can have an idea about our methodology.
