Plans are under way to transform the OAKA Olympic Stadium in northern Athens into a dual-purpose facility. Apart from renovations aimed at improving it as a recreational and sports facility, the 100-hectare complex will also be used as an emergency shelter during crises like earthquakes, floods or fires.
