🏡 Streets for Citizens transforming a staircase in Ioannina! 🏡
What if a staircase wasn’t just a passage but a vibrant place to relax, meet neighbors, and socialize? And what if this transformation wasn’t designed by engineers behind desks but co-created by citizens? 💡
In early March, the city of Ioannina invited locals to a #CommunityBreakfast ☕ to discuss the future of the Kaloutsiani staircase—a pathway leading to the historic Tzami. And where did this conversation take place? Right there, on the staircase itself! 🏛️
🎨 Over 180 citizens gathered to envision a staircase filled with:
🚴♂️ Bike rails
🌿 Lush greenery
🛋️ Cozy benches
🎭 Artistic touches
🚗 Fewer cars & more color
These ideas are now shaping the transformation project! And it’s just the beginning…
✨ Next steps?
📅 Another #CommunityBreakfast to further shape the plan
🎯 The city’s #RollUpPlan to plan and test citizens’ creative proposals
🏙️ Using #TacticalUrbanism to improve urban spaces & city life!
Ioannina is proving that when communities come together, incredible things happen! 🙌💡 Stay tuned!
