L’équipe de travail

L’idée de cet Atlas a été élaborée par Thomas Maloutas, qui a profité des conditions favorables créées par la proposition de la Fondation Onassis de soutenir une telle entreprise, dans le cadre du programme Reactivate Athens.

Thomas Maloutas et Stavros Spyrellis se sont chargés de l’édition, le second prenant entre autres la responsabilité de la reproduction cartographique de presque tous les chapitres et de l’harmonisation du matériel d’accompagnement en général avec l’aide de Markos Kalofolias. Une aide importante a été apportée par Vassilis Papadopoulos (http://www.itis.gr/) qui a construit et configuré l’illustration du site internet. Les auteurs des entrées sont des chercheurs chevronnés ou plus jeunes, de spécialités différentes travaillant sur Athènes, dont beaucoup avaient déjà contribué à l’Atlas paru en 2000 (Atlas social et économique de la Grèce, Volume I : Les villes). Le but est que la liste des auteurs s’élargisse de façon notable dans un avenir proche.

Maintenant que le premier noyau de l’Atlas est mis en ligne, son agrandissement et son élargissement (appréciation et édition scientifique des nouvelles notices) sont pris en charge par un Comité de Rédaction plus vaste, composé de Vassilis Arapoglou, Dimitris Balampanidis, Nikos Karadimitriou, Iris Polyzou et Ion Sagias.
