Petros Papaioannou, founder of the magazine ‘KTIRIO THESS’, emphasizes the urgent need for a comprehensive Master Plan to address the city’s infrastructure and developmental challenges. Over the past 30 years, Thessaloniki has seen a steady decline in its economic and social dynamics due to the exodus of creative individuals and entrepreneurs. To revitalize the city, improved metropolitan governance and decisive project management are necessary, as noted by both Papaioannou and Thessaloniki’s Deputy Mayor Prodromos Nikiforidis.
