- A Kathimerini podcast episode examines Greece’s environmental dilemmas, including development at Ellinikon and Sarakiniko, short-term rentals, beaches and renewable energy.
- Giorgos Dellis argues that the central issue is not whether to develop, but under what terms, at what scale and according to which plan.
From Ellinikon and Sarakiniko to short-term rentals, beaches and renewable energy, Greece’s major green dilemmas resist a simple yes-or-no answer about development.
In the fourth episode of “Spatial Disorder,” Giorgos Dellis explains to Vicky Katechaki why the central question is how development takes shape in a particular place.
The issue, he says, turns on three conditions: the terms under which a place develops, the scale of that development and the plan guiding it.
