Border Troubles: Urban Nature and The Remaking Of Public or Private Divides

"losing public control".
So, another thing the researchers found is that Hellenikon's work falls into the "classic" 
category of brownfield development and greening. This does not address past inequalities 
of chronic lack of green space. This is especially sad for low-income residents of densely 
urbanized neighborhoods. 
So, in order to speed up the development in Athens, 
participation is minimized

Reconfiguring the public/private divide with urban nature 
So, solutions based on the nature of the city provide a space that organizes public and 
private property, their status, value, etc. 
In each of the three considered areas, there is a nominal obligation to use nature for the 
public. So, in places like this, the principle of "false publicness" is being applied with 
mahurat. 3 trends were identified: 
1) Transfer of ownership or management from state hands to private ownership. 
2) Stratification of access to natural areas: e.g., elite tourists or high-income renters and 
lower-middle-class residents. 
3) Inadequate democratic participation in decision-making on the issue of "Urban 
nature". 
So, these geographers say that "the level of privatization of nature is not only legal but also 
necessary to ensure the permanent public nature of the city." 
In general, even if the land on which the parks are located is not fully privatized, the use 
of nature and the use of related benefits are now mainly related to the decisions of private 
individuals. Because the situation has reached this level. The reasons and considerations 
have been stated above. If you want to know more, a link to the full text of the study has 
been provided.
