Object of research thesis
The research thesis deals with pedestrian networks as means of urban regeneration, through a comparative evaluation of implemented practices. It will be recorded and evaluated restorations and especially pedestrianization programs in Europe and Greece, in recent decades, through indicative examples. The degradation problems that characterize redeveloped areas and theories that practiced, will show off, among other things, any obstacles encountered and made it difficult to adjust similar programs in Greece.

The analysis focuses, although, on footpaths and pedestrian networks, trying to highlight their importance in urban networks, as a source of proper energy management, sustainable city's design and finally as an important component of its own regeneration.
