Thessaloniki urban and infrastructure development

Overview

Thessaloniki is pursuing extensive urban and infrastructure development through various municipal and regional initiatives. Initially, Mayor Stelios Angeloudis announced the ‘6+1’ urban development projects, which include the creation of new parking spaces, the redevelopment of the Toumpa archaeological site, and the establishment of a 120-acre Metropolitan Park. These plans also involve cleaning the Thermaic Gulf and undertaking major road paving projects.

This local effort is part of a broader, large-scale infrastructure transformation valued at over €4 billion. Major regional developments include the metro extension to Kalamaria, the Flyover project, and significant road improvements such as the Thessaloniki–Edessa and Drama–Amphipoli routes. Other strategic efforts focus on logistics centers, innovation hubs, and hospital and port expansions to establish the city as an international commercial and economic hub.
