This thesis surveys the interactions between residential land development and urban policy in Greece, with special reference to the case of Greater Thessaloniki providing an understanding of the contradictions in urban policy during the period 1974-89. The starting point is a speculation that institutional attempts to reform urban policy and planning throughout the period 1974-89 remained largely inactive. We hold that this inefficiency is an outcome of a compound political, economic and institutional process linked to the characteristics of residential land development. Main emphasis is paid on: the role of land policy in determining the modern forms of landownership, the impacts of a widespread small landownership upon the pattern of residential development, and, finally, the way politics and ideology are enmeshed in policies related to the residential development process.
