The Development Organization “New Metropolitan Attica S.A.” undertakes the implementation of six (6) projects aimed at rectifying the devastating consequences in the fire-stricken area of “Mati”.

The Development Organization “New Metropolitan Attica S.A.” is undertaking the implementation of six (6) projects targeting the restoration of the fire-affected area of “Mati” in the Regional Unit of Eastern Attica. The projects are being carried out through a Programmatic Agreement signed between the Ministry of Environment and Energy, the President of the Special Aid Account Management Committee for the fire victims of July 23rd and 24th, 2018, and the Development Organization.

The projects can be summarized as follows:

Project 1: Energy autonomy – upgrading of forest recreation area

Project 2: Restoration of buildings within the Naval Retirement Fund (NAT) premises

Project 3: Construction of coastal pedestrian walkway

Project 4: Urban firefighting network

Project 5: Smart city digital applications and equipment

Project 6: Redevelopment of the riparian zone

Specifically, the deliverables include the preparation of all necessary studies, the drafting of tender documents, the execution of procurement procedures for the selection of contractors, as well as the supervision and handover of the completed works. The scope of the projects includes the construction of an electric lighting network, the installation of a remotely controlled water supply system, and the deployment of a fire detection system for early identification and warning of fires. Additionally, two (2) buildings within the “NAT” site will be repaired and renovated, the surrounding landscape will be upgraded, and a wooden refreshment kiosk with auxiliary facilities will be constructed. The “Urban Firefighting Network” project aims to mitigate the risk of fires within the urban plan of the “Mati” area through the procurement and installation of integrated fire detection and remotely controlled electronic water management systems. Smart city applications and equipment will ensure full monitoring and control of public lighting through the use of smart lighting fixtures, enabling cost and energy savings and centrally controlled functionality. Furthermore, the design and construction of a 3.5-meter-wide coastal pedestrian promenade with an approximate total length of 3.5 km will be carried out, aimed at facilitating easy citizen/visitor mobility along the coast, promoting more physical recreational activity, enhancing the environmental and urban landscape and contributing to the area’s economic development. Finally, a zone around the banks of the local stream has been designated for regeneration with the planned design and creation of a walking trail to showcase the natural beauty and serve as a point of attraction for both residents and visitors.

The total estimated timeframe for project completion, including the relevant approvals, is set at 42 months.
