In collaboration with specialized green engineering companies and Greek nurseries, Lamda is creating temporary spaces that will house more than 2,000 trees during construction. These trees, which are located within the project area where work has already started or will start, will be transplanted into the Metropolitan Park and the public areas of the new green city.
The company has already started the transplants from the Experience Park, where the green natural environment was further strengthened with the transplant of 80 trees, the planting of an additional 100 new trees, bringing the total to 900 trees and about 80,000 plants of Mediterranean varieties. Plants and soil texture were selected based on local climate, site conditions and their ability to hold water, as stormwater management and conservation is vital to the urban environment.
At the same time, dozens of new trees were planted in the area where the works for the construction of the building for the disabled are being carried out. These new trees, including olives, carobs, cusps and others of Greek origin, match the environment and the vegetation of the area, are large in size and have a height of up to 6 meters. Their height and volume creates a green zone around the area where the building for the disabled will be erected so as not to burden the neighboring residential area.
The visitors exceeded 1,000,000
The Experience Park, a first part of the Metropolitan Park created as part of the urban regeneration of Hellinikon, was opened to the public at Christmas 2021, with visitors to date exceeding one million. The Hellinikon Metropolitan Park will be the largest coastal park in Europe.
