ABSTRACT

The built areas of cities saw intense activity in the new Hellenic state established in 1830, after the war of Independence from Ottoman rule. State activity had highly significant results, which changed the country’s constructed environment, transforming ruined communities, or insignificant villages into urban centres. Although the state’s goals are known through the bibliography to date, the reasons for its successes and failures have been of minor concern. This study analyzes the factors that contributed to the state’s success or failure in planning constructed space. It also endeavours to estimate the effects of the changes in people’s lives that could be defined as cultural.
