This media file displays a text-heavy informational panel or sign, set against a dark blue-purple background with white Greek text. The bottom right corner shows a small, out-of-focus portion of a light-colored ground or concrete surface. The text provides a detailed account of the transformation of a coastal area in Keratsini-Drapetsona, Greece, formerly occupied by the Fertilizer Company (Εταιρεία Λιπασμάτων), into a public park. It highlights the municipality's efforts starting in 2015, completed in 2017, to create a space for recreation, culture, and sports, giving citizens access to the sea that was previously polluted by heavy industry. The architect responsible for the design is mentioned as Giorgos Andreadakis. The text emphasizes the project as a victory for public spaces against privatization. A separate section provides a "Brief History of the Fertilizer Company," detailing its establishment in 1909 near Piraeus port, its industrial activities, decline after the 1970s, closure in 1993, and the preservation of specific historic buildings on the site. Credits are listed at the bottom right, attributing the study and text to "CReatures" and Eleni Kyramargiou, and acknowledging various archives for photographic material, including the National Bank of Greece.
