The proposal for the design of the site is to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional urban landscape, different from the usual standards of the Greek city. The initial idea involves creating a net of green spaces that “flow” along the north – south axis, linking together the preserved elements (area of the cylos, Em. Papas` Street, stream).
 
Moreover, promenades and woonerves encourage pedestrian and bicycle use and minimize the use of asphalt.
The organization of the built environment there is a linear building volumes creating the blocks, surrounded by greenery.
 
The square is located at the core of the region. The ground floor of the buildings surrounding the square form arcades for commercial purposes. Generally, in the whole regeneration area, ground floors host main uses (residential or commercial) providing privacy and comfort. That is how all the types of residence become attractive and enhance the feeling of security for the residents. The square is connected to the camp Ziaka, which is intended to constitute an environmental and cultural area, via a pedestrian promenade.
The area of the cylos constitutes the northern border of the area and has turned into a theme park. A selective use of cylos and other storage areas is attempted, thus creating a cultural space for occasional exhibitions, lectures and other uses.
 
Facades are formed in order to give a more “urban” character at the square and Emmanuel Pappas Street, which becomes a local green street,. Consecutive buildings, shaping a joint facade, are also found near the stream, next to the large pedestrian promenade that runs along. However, here the buildings are lower in height and often interrupted by smaller footpaths, creating a pleasant environment for housing and walking. The path (deck type), that follows the stream between rows of trees and lower plantings, is ideal for walking too.
 
The pedestrian streets, freeways and woonerves throughout the area create open spaces, changing the landscape and improving the quality of life.
