The end goal is to combine thousands of permanent residences with a commercial hub surrounding a 600-acre public park.

.

It's a genuine 15-minute city within a city, designed to ensure that all residential areas, parks, beaches, sports, leisure and entertainment venues, educational facilities, hospitality options, and health services are all easily accessible within a short walk, Lamda Development, via 'Newsweek'.

According to Lamda, Ellinikon could , "serve as a prototype for responsible development that can be replicated globally."
