URBAN PLANNING PROJECTS AND REGENERATION STUDIES: AN EXAMPLE OF A GREEK CITY: LARISSA (1974-2008)
Full text linkThe city of Larissa in Greece has an important role in national and regional level. For the past 3 decades, the image of the city has considerably altered. A series of proposals concerning the regulation of urban space and the realisation of their objectives contributed to this. These proposals are made either through studies on urban level or through specialised studies with special arrangements during 1974 – 2002. The Master Plan of Larissa (1972-74), the General Development Plan (1982-86), the Study on the regeneration of the historic centre of the city and the wider region of the river Pinios (1988-91), the Traffic and Transportation Study (1989-91) are considered to be the most significant studies that have taken place. Specifically the study on the reformation of the historic centre has led to the creation of an extensive pedestrian network in the centre of the city and as a result came a particular function of the centre, concerning the mode of transportation and the configuration of land uses in the city centre. The presentation is about the main spots of these studies and their relationship. Through bibliographical research and discussions with leaders of the studies and people who have contributed to or affected by their implementation it is concluded that there were conflicting views but the need for urban planning with a social character and the completion of the objectives through sustainable development seemed urgent. The implementation of the proposals has upgraded the quality of life of residents. Several needs and problems aroused trying to reverse this progress. The road to the future creates different data, which must be addressed with proper planning and proper implementation of the proposals. Larissa is a typical Greek city through which are projected the main stages of urban planning in the Greek state after the dictactorship (1970s), outlining deficiencies and breakthroughs when the need for alteration is urgent.

The theory and practice of utopia in our troubled times : a conversation with author Larissa Lai and critic Sherryl Vint
No full textAmid current global crises, the international conference “The Knock at the Door: Utopian Dreams for Post-Covid Times,” jointly organized by the University of Huelva (Spain) and the University of Calgary (Canada) on May 21–24, 2023, at the University of Huelva, provided a forum for reflecting upon the role played by speculative fiction in (re)imagining better futures, while remaining vigilant to possible threats and dangers. The title of the conference, borrowed from philosopher John Rajchman,1 is intentionally ambiguous. Lying behind that door could be total liberation for all—or it could be secret police who lead us toward genocides, deportation, rapes, and mass graves. Taking this dichotomous trope, “the knock at the door,” as a point of departure, professors Larissa Lai (University of Toronto, Canada; recipient of a Maria Zambrano fellowship at the University of Huelva at the time of the interview) and Sherryl Vint (University of California Riverside, USA) engaged...Depto. de Estudios Ingleses: Lingüística y LiteraturaFac. de Ciencias Económicas y EmpresarialesTRUEpu
Sustainable mobility in the city of Larissa
No full textThis paper on sustainable mobility in the city of Larissa, Greece, is from the proceedings of 14th international Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, which was held in Malta in 2008. Larissa is a dynamic industrial, agricultural and cultural centre in the mainland of Greece with around 200,000 inhabitants. The author first briefly reviews the history of urban planning in Larissa, which began in the 1970s and since then has included a series of plans and studies that have been elaborated and implemented, all aiming at sustainable development, urban renaissance and sustainable mobility in the city center. Larissa uses a wide pedestrian network, as well as a less extended bike network, as an integral part of an infrastructure that connects the administrative center to the traditional, older part of the city and to the river shores zone. The author stresses that this infrastructure and framework has improved the quality of life and have had a direct positive impact on the physiognomy of the city. The author concludes with proposals of further sustainable mobility and urban transport policy for Larissa, discussing how these could be applied in towns of similar scale in the wider European area
