Strategies for Viable Development in the East Attica

Strategies for Viable Development in the East Attica

26 - 28 September 2003
Lavrio, Greece

Because in the last decade there have been spectacular changes in our country and especially in the Attica Basin, a single Action Plan for its development had to be discussed.

We therefore considered that it was necessary and imperative to highlight and promote this area, especially after the proposals of the Local Government for the elaboration of a comprehensive program for Eastern Attica.

The European Agency for Strategic Planning, considering that the institution of Local Government is the main lever of the development process in our country, strengthens the institution, promotes and encourages all those processes and measures aimed at the decentralization of regional development and development. Local Government.

Based on the above, the European Organization for Strategic Planning organized a three-day Conference and Exhibition in the Municipality of Lavreotiki and in the Conference Center of the Municipality of Lavrio on:

"PRINCIPLES AND DIRECTIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IN EASTERN ATTICA AND THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT" under the auspices of the Ministry of Interior.
