The Municipality of Thessaloniki has introduced several infrastructure and environmental projects aimed at improving urban living. In October 2026, the city announced a plan to create approximately 4,000 new parking spaces to address shortages and improve mobility. This strategy includes converting public plots into parking areas, installing automated multi-story systems, and building underground facilities at metro terminals and specific urban areas.

Following this, the municipality launched a program to expand the city’s green footprint. By June 2027, the city aims to have established 19 new parks, adding roughly 25 stremmata of green space. As of the latest reports, ten parks have been completed, five are under construction, and four are in the study phase.
