Μαζικές δενδροφυτεύσεις σε Άνω Τούμπα και Τριανδρία
Ο Δήμος Θεσσαλονίκης, σε συνεργασία με την περιβαλλοντική δράση «Όλοι Μαζί Μπορούμε» του ΣΚΑΪ και τη Διεύθυνση Αναδασώσεων Κεντρικής Μακεδονίας, πραγματοποίησε μαζικές δενδροφυτεύσεις στο περιαστικό δάσος της Άνω Τούμπας και στη Δημοτική Ενότητα Τριανδρίας. Συνολικά φυτεύτηκαν 2.000 δενδρύλλια διαφόρων υδρόφιλων και μεσογειακών ειδών, όπως δρυς, κουτσουπιά, φράξος, ακακία και αγριελιά, με τη συμμετοχή δεκάδων εθελοντών κάθε ηλικίας. Οι παρεμβάσεις αυτές εντάσσονται στον στρατηγικό σχεδιασμό του Δήμου για την ενίσχυση του αστικού πρασίνου και την ανάπτυξη περιβαλλοντικής συνείδησης, ιδιαίτερα μέσα από τη συμμετοχή των πολιτών και των παιδιών τους.
Φύτευση 500 νέων δέντρων στη Νέα Παραλία
Η φύτευση 500 νέων δέντρων στη Νέα Παραλία, στο πάρκο του Μεγάλου Αλεξάνδρου δίπλα στο Βασιλικό Θέατρο, πραγματοποιήθηκε με δωρεά της Μακεδονικής Εταιρείας Χάρτου, στο πλαίσιο της εταιρικής κοινωνικής ευθύνης. Η παρέμβαση αυτή, που ακολουθεί τη φύτευση 700 δέντρων στον Ζωολογικό Κήπο, εντάσσεται στον σχεδιασμό του Δήμου Θεσσαλονίκης για την ενίσχυση του αστικού πρασίνου και τη δημιουργία μιας πιο βιώσιμης και φιλικής πόλης. Ανάμεσα στα είδη που φυτεύτηκαν περιλαμβάνονται κουτσουπιές, καλλωπιστικές δαμασκηνιές, πλατάνια και καλλωπιστικές κερασιές, που αναμένεται να αναβαθμίσουν αισθητικά το παραλιακό μέτωπο και να λειτουργήσουν ως πνεύμονας οξυγόνου για πολίτες και επισκέπτες.
Reconstruction of the Playground and Redevelopment of Kaoudi Square
The complete reconstruction of the playground and the overall redevelopment of the surrounding area at Kaoudi Square, in the 5th Municipal District, were made possible thanks to the generous donation of Giorgos and Zoi Papageorgiou. This intervention significantly contributed to the creation of a safe, well-designed, and functional space for children and families in the neighborhood, enhancing social cohesion and quality of life in a historic area of the city. The donation stands as a meaningful example of civic responsibility and contribution to the common good.
Melinikou Park Upgrade
The Tornivoukas family fully funded the planting of 100 new trees (plane trees, cypresses, and oriental planes), along with a series of technical interventions in the public space of Melinikou Park on Ethnikis Amynis Street. This initiative is part of the broader effort to enhance urban greenery and improve the aesthetics of public spaces, making a positive impact on citizens’ everyday life. The donation stands as a strong example of corporate social responsibility and active contribution toward a more sustainable and people-friendly city.
Installation of Public Water Fountains
Eighteen new water fountains were installed along central streets, the New Waterfront, the White Tower, and City Hall areas in collaboration with EYATH. The goal is to ensure access to clean drinking water for all, improving public space quality and contributing to a more sustainable city.
School Crosswalk Markings
The Municipality of Thessaloniki and Hellas Direct are upgrading school crosswalks as part of the "Safe Roads" project. By April 26, interventions were carried out at 17 locations across the city.
Volunteer Graffiti Removal
A volunteer-led initiative to clean unauthorized graffiti, keeping our city clean and beautiful.
Restoration and Beautification of the New Waterfront
Thanks to the initiative of the Cultural Society, the New Waterfront has been returned to the public, transformed into a cultural space. This initiative proves that when there is a spirit of contribution and aesthetic vision, we can achieve many small victories for our city.
Amphipoleos Pocket Park
This 170m² park includes 456 plants (mainly aromatic herbs such as lavender, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and viburnum) and trees (lime, plane, bitter orange). Urban equipment was upgraded, and natural materials were used exclusively — minimal concrete and no cement. The park is lit using renewable energy for “smart” lighting.
Tree Planting in All Municipal Communities
We promote tree planting in public spaces, parks, and urban areas, improving air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, and creating green, friendly environments that enhance citizen well-being and environmental sustainability. In the first year, over 8,000 new trees were planted.
Tseliou Playground
The playground, named “Neni’s Joy,” was constructed with a private donation. The space was enclosed with a new wall and fencing and outfitted with certified play equipment, safety rubber flooring, and urban furniture including benches, a drinking fountain, waste bin, and signage.
Municipal Nursery at the Thessaloniki Port
The new nursery on Pier A was created in a fully renovated building and courtyard, fully funded by Alumil. The facility includes two toddler sections and one infant section, accommodating up to 46 children.
We invite you, through the “I Participate in My City” program, to support initiatives that improve daily life and make Thessaloniki more sustainable, friendly, functional, and resilient.
