aimed  to  allow  authorities  to  build  on  trust  and  confidence  of  the  involved  actors  through  a 

participatory policy‐making process. 

In the beginning of the event Mr. Mathaios Tsimpiskakis, member of the municipality management 

board,  presented  the  overall  strategic  planning  of  the municipality  of Rethymno  focusing  on  the 

sustainable development and revitalization of the city’s neighborhoods. He explained the structure 

of  the upcoming  package  of  the National  Strategic Reference  Framework  and  the  steps  that  the 

municipality has done to be prepared for receiving the funds available for regional development. 

The  second  speaker  Mr.  Efthymios  Mpakogiannis,  member  of  the  Sustainable  Mobility  Unit, 

presented the study of National Technical University of Athens regarding the sustainable mobility of 

the municipality. In his presentation he analysed the potential of the municipality for a decrease  in 

the use of private cars by investing on public transportation and an extensive cycling network. 

The eco Architects group “Imagineers” gave an extended presentation on their study regarding the 

revitalization of the municipality of Rethymno. They presented their strategic plan, which uses the 

existing streams that divide Rethymno as green paths connecting the main natural attractions of the 

area ‐ the seaside and the mountains. In their presentation they highlighted the key role of citizens 

as decision makers for the proposed interventions. It is important to involve and engage citizens to 

the  decisions  taken,  so  that  they will  support  the  interventions  in  the  future.  Furthermore,  they 

presented  the  significance  of  appropriate  vegetation  in  a  sustainable  revitalization  of  the 

municipality.  

Professor  Theocharis  Tsoutsos,  the  director  of  the  Renewable  and  Sustainable  Energy  Systems 

Laboratory of the Technical University of Crete presented the bioclimatic aspect of revitalization. In 

his  presentation  he  gave  the  basic  principles  and methodology  of  bioclimatic  design  in  form  of 

examples  from  previous  projects.  Additionally,  he  made  a  brief  presentation  on  the  European 

initiative Green Partnerships  its scope, activities and outcomes. Finally, he presented the pilot case 

of bioclimatic design of open  spaces conducted  for  the municipality of Rethymno  in  the  frame of 

Green Partnerships’ initiative. 

Mr  Giorgos  Marinakis,  the  Mayor  of  Rethymno,  gave  the  conclusion  speech,  highlighting  the 

importance  of  the  cooperation  between  researchers,  public  authorities,  citizens  and  other 

stakeholders  for  the  successful  implementation  of  the  sustainable  energy  planning  of  the 

municipality towards a higher quality of life for the community.
