This research investigates the need for a sustainable urban structure.
In order to achieve true sustainability, according to the principles which were set in ancient times, the city, the organized community needs the necessary infrastructure, so it becomes self-sufficient. At the same time it needs the necessary framework, in order to connect with other communities.

The aim of this project is to find contemporary ways of studying population densities and their networks in three different cities that function on different scales:
Athens,Hong Kong and NYC.
By understanding different ways of hab­itation that emerge in each case, one could translate their attempt to create a sustainable life. As for the urban structure, each of the components of a city will be investigated on how to operate simultaneously in different scales, locally and globally.
