Improving
Quality of Life

We are shaping a city that supports the well-being of all its residents, aiming to improve quality of life through significant upgrades to infrastructure and the urban environment. We focus on enhancing green spaces and revitalizing public areas to create a safer, more accessible, and pleasant city. These efforts are aligned with our vision of a more sustainable and equitable society, where residents feel part of a united and vibrant community enjoying a higher standard of living.

Municipal Parking Spaces

We are creating public parking areas in densely populated neighborhoods, addressing a key concern for both residents and visitors. These facilities relieve traffic congestion, improve urban mobility, and contribute to a more functional city.

School Infrastructure

The Municipality focuses on strengthening educational infrastructure by renovating and maintaining school buildings and courtyards, ensuring safe and suitable environments for learning. Schoolyards can also become “cool islands” that offer relief from heat and improve the urban ecosystem through greenery, permeable surfaces, and rainwater collection systems.

New Municipal Daycare Centers

Thessaloniki’s municipal nurseries and daycare centers follow modern educational practices that support every child’s development. Carefully planned and safely designed spaces offer stimuli that foster children’s abilities and promote both individual and group learning.

Sports Facilities and Activities

We are developing and upgrading sports facilities that promote physical activity and recreation for all Thessaloniki residents. Through targeted interventions adapted to various needs, we provide the ideal environment for citizens to stay active, take care of their health, and enhance their well-being.

Aesthetic Upgrade of Public Spaces

We are enhancing Thessaloniki’s urban landscape by installing new public infrastructure in key areas of the city. We create spaces for rest, meetings, and social interaction, improving everyday life for residents. This includes courtyard upgrades, green enhancements, and volunteer clean-up initiatives that remove litter and graffiti. We also promote street art and murals as part of the city’s visual rejuvenation.

Playgrounds

We are committed to building and renovating playgrounds that promote safe physical activity and fun for children. By investing in modern, innovative equipment, we create spaces where children can play, learn, and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

Tree Planting

The Municipality of Thessaloniki is investing in an extensive tree-planting program to enrich our green footprint and improve the city’s quality of life. We are planting trees in public spaces, parks, gardens, and areas with limited vegetation to upgrade the urban environment. This initiative contributes to better air quality, environmental sustainability, and both physical and mental well-being for our citizens.

Parks

We are boosting the city’s green presence through the creation of new so-called ‘pocket parks’ and the adoption of existing green areas. Every park becomes a vital green lung for the community, offering peace and recreation for all ages. We plan, renovate, and maintain parks to ensure they are safe, clean, and accessible, making our city more welcoming.

Social Resilience

We support and strengthen public welfare structures and social programs aimed at the vulnerable populations of Thessaloniki. These initiatives promote social activation, solidarity, recreation, health, and well-being, as well as education and employment integration — all contributing to a fairer, more inclusive society.

Accessibility for People with Disabilities

We ensure unhindered access for people with disabilities to public and social spaces through appropriate infrastructure such as ramps, elevators, accessible toilets, and designated routes. These improvements promote inclusion, independence, and active participation in social life.

Supported Living Housing for People with Disabilities

The Municipality provides specially designed structures for the supported living of people with disabilities, ensuring access to high-quality care and services that promote autonomy and social inclusion.

Municipal Veterinary Clinic

Municipal veterinary services offer medical care for the city’s animals, ensuring their health and welfare. This initiative fosters better coexistence between humans and animals within the urban environment.

Municipal Clinics

Municipal health clinics provide essential access to basic healthcare services, ensuring that even those unable to afford private care — such as the elderly, low-income individuals, unemployed persons, and other vulnerable groups — receive the support they need. These clinics also offer health promotion and prevention programs, including hygiene, nutrition, and self-care education, helping to prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, they reduce the burden on larger hospitals by covering part of the city’s primary healthcare needs with minimal setup and basic medical equipment.

Seniors

We empower initiatives for the elderly, focusing on active living, social engagement, entertainment, and overall well-being. Programs such as social cohesion workshops, fitness groups, and health awareness activities help older adults stay active, enrich their daily lives, and care for their personal health.

Empowering Youth

Thessaloniki invests in the future of its youth through a cohesive program that combines education, training, employment, and cultural activities. The initiative offers upskilling and reskilling opportunities, helping young people adapt to the evolving job market and develop the skills needed for successful careers. Seminars, workshops, and social events also encourage active youth participation in civic life and community development.

Development of Incubators and Entrepreneurship Workshops

We invite private and institutional stakeholders to support young entrepreneurs through the creation of incubators and the organization of workshops that promote youth innovation and entrepreneurship.

Volunteer Actions

We invite collectives and organizations to lead or support volunteer initiatives — such as public space clean-ups, graffiti removal, and tree planting — that foster civic engagement and care for the city’s environment.Networking for Brain Gain We encourage initiatives that connect young scientists, professionals, and creatives with the local market and research community, increasing the opportunities for them to return to or remain in Thessaloniki.

Cultural and Music Events

We welcome collaborations with cultural institutions, companies, and creative groups to organize events that give young people the space to express themselves, engage with others, and showcase their talents. These events contribute to the cultural revitalization of the city.

Upskilling & Reskilling Programs

The Municipality of Thessaloniki promotes training initiatives aimed at upgrading or acquiring new skills for the city’s youth. The participation of businesses and organizations in such programs helps enhance the adaptability of the workforce to the modern labor market.
