The city of Athens, economic, political and administrative capital of Greece since 1833, hasbeen developed upon ancient settlements of 2000 years and more without regulating planningand principles. The distribution of economic activities in urban tissue has been determined bya “laiser faire”, under the influence of continuous political pressures. Market, with successivechanges, has formed a functional “situation of balance”, in the thematic level as well as intheir areal distribution. This has led to an Urban Status where Land Uses configure LandPrices and vice versa. New areas with Functional Structures have been developed, thatdetermine land prices forced by Market needs. For this reason, Athens constitutes a suitableterritory for research of urban activities distribution as it is shaped without regulation but it isformed by the free offer and demand of space for the installation of urban activities.This allocation is fixed froma) their “functional requirements”b) their essential “environmental compatibilities” and mainly,c) their “land prices”.Our research aims to show• initially how Greek legislation has taken into consideration the city’s existingFunctional structureand then• how the “allocation freedom” that is provided, shapes the Urban web of Athensmunicipality and accordingly real estate development.
