Abstract
The sustainable improvement of motor highways that drive through or surround the big cities are considered as a step towards the reinforcement of the green network of a city. This improvement can have an impact in several aspects of the issue such as the aesthetic improvement of the roads, environmental benefits that include noise and air pollution reduction and improvement of the microclimate. Finally, generally design principles are addressed such as visual perception of highways. The study methodology focuses on two main aspects, literature review of the subsect matter of sustainable improvement of highways and the design proposal of a case study. The latter consists of a landscape, mainly vegetation design study undertaken in the urban section of the P.A.TH.E. Motorway from the section after the Metamorfosi A/C junction and up to the Aphidnon Toll Station in the Prefecture of Attica.
