Content SummaryThe city of Athens, economic, political and administrative capital of Greece since 1833, has been developed upon ancient settlements of 2000 years and more. The distribution of economic activities in urban tissue has been determined by a “laiser faire”, under the influence of continuous political pressures. Market, with successive changes, has formed a “situation of functional balance”, so much in the thematic level as in their areal distribution1 that has not been extended yet in the Basin’s total. The population agglomeration after the second world war and the increasing requirements, led to the "city’s extension" with the creation of new residential areas that however did not keep up with the creation of respective centers that would serve their daily or weekly needs in services and goods supply. Thus in new communities the existing functional centers are under- equipped so the residents are constrained to daily journeys in order to be served in the big central centers. This results in big time loss, aggravation of the already burdened circulatory network and further environmental pollution2. The tumited urban mobility because of the low Approach-ability (insufficient network) and the complicated Accessibility (not rational land uses distribution) increases the emitted pollutants because of the increased traffic pressures. Our Objective is a) the ascertainment of sector-based composition of regional municipalities centers, and b) their maturity level in residents service. The centers sector-based composition will arise from the development of Functional Structure Components of 54 Athens Basin communities and will be determined by the reveal of the same Structure through the employment in 29.184 Building squares of 54 communities. The centers maturation, will arise from the comparative examination of municipalities Functional Components structure during the decade 1978- 1988. The challenge consists in the functional enrichment of the under-equipped centers in order to determine daily and weekly journeys. en
