This paper will examine the manifold interventions promoted by the Ministry of Reconstruction as an integrated program of economic recovery and regional planning. The Ministry’s programmatic actions comprised the restoration of damaged buildings, the construction of new settlements, and the provision of building materials and technical assistance as aided self-help programs that actively engaged the future inhabitants in the reconstruction process.
Beyond any doubt, international and local politics highly conditioned the Reconstruction and the postwar development of Greece that defied every planning effort and eventually, against all odds, took off in the 1960s. Interestingly, Doxiadis’ initiatives set guidelines for the modernization of the country, while his discourse evinced the unification of Europe and emphasized the stance of Greece in the geopolitical Cold War game.
