Karditsa

The intention of the Municipality of Karditsa in central Greece to renovate the city's largest park, known as Pavsilipo, is dividing local society. The competition for the project was announced on Wednesday for a fourth time, with the municipality maintaining that it will revitalize and modernize the park.

The state should consider moving certain mountain settlements to a different location instead of investing in expensive anti-erosion works, says Efthymis Lekkas, professor of dynamic tectonic applied geology at Athens University and head of the Organization of Earthquake Planning and Protection.
