The research topic revolves around the study and analysis of the influence that railways have when they cross a city/region, on its general architectural and urban planning. More specifically, an imaginary axis formed by the old OSE railway station in Piraeus and following the old railway lines to the western side of Kifisos Avenue has been chosen as the study area.

In particular, in this research topic, a research will be carried out regarding the areas crossed by the lines as well as their history, the existing situation that prevails in the buildings/facilities around them, but also the land uses of the immediate environment and the surrounding area. Thus, an image of the current situation and the issues arising in these areas will be formed.

Then, using the above study and understanding the current image of these areas, a specific part of the research map will be selected, which will be analyzed in a larger area, but also a planning strategy will be followed, so that this area can be redesigned in such a way as to make the best possible use of the plots/facilities, solving the various issues that have arisen so far, by using a new layout plan.
