The study area, due to its considerable length and its location within the city of Corinth, exhibits variations in the character of its individual points. The broader area, from the pedestrian bridge over the “Xirias” stream to Papandreou Street, is characterized by a higher density in terms of structure, flow, and use. As one moves towards the western edge, the landscape becomes more suburban, with a more organic street layout and lower building density.

This transition is intended to support the development of a modern waterfront that combines both urban and semi-urban characteristics. Reflecting the composition of the city, the proposal seeks to gradually alleviate its compact structure, progressively integrating more natural elements while incorporating uses that gradually lose their urban character. This approach aims to meet the diverse needs of urban planning.

The implementation of the approved urban plan is essential for enhancing public space. Our proposal is that the entire waterfront be developed as a unified pedestrian pathway. Curved routes have been chosen to soften the rigidity of the city and to merge the organic forms of sand and sea with the straight lines of the urban planning designs applied to the area.

The system of curved pathways creates sub-areas while simultaneously organizing movement, stops, and green spaces. The uses proposed by the urban design, such as sports, cultural activities, and dining, are integrated into the waterfront and placed within the various spaces along it. To ensure a cohesive approach to urban infrastructure, three types of canopies have been designed. These canopies vary in density, creating clusters that organize the different uses along the waterfront.
