Presentation of the 1st Phase of the Keramia Local Urban Development Plan

On the 10th May 2016 an open event was held in the Kampoi village of Keramia, for the presentation of the 1st Phase (Phase A) of the Keramia Local Urban Development Plan, which was prepared in the context of the supplementary contract agreement signed in relation to the contract “Revision and Expansion of the Local Urban Development Plan in the Municipalities of Chania, El. Venizelos, Therisos and Souda”. The event was very successful and productive, given that after the detailed presentation of the existing situation and development potential of the area, an interesting discussion followed, including queries and viewpoints expressed by a variety of stakeholders from the Municipality, Regional Authority and local agencies.

The study has been commissioned to our company (leader) in consortium with Doxiadis Associates SA and the geologists Dr A. Pavlaki and Mr M. Lionis.

The next day, a steering committee meeting was held among the project and supervisory teams’ members to discuss technical issues and coordinate the preparation of the final phases (Phases B1 & B2) of the entire Municipality’s Local Urban Development Plan, including on top of the aforementioned municipalities, those of New Kidonia and Akrotiri. In this context, the Municipality of Chania is expected to be one of the first -and pioneering – municipalities in Greece, that will have a Local Urban Development Plan enacted for its entire, newly expanded, administrative territory (following the “Kallikrates programme” which brought forward a major administrative reform in Greek Local Authorities).
