otterdam City Centre. OKRA has also realised Cutty Sark Gardens in Greenwich (UK) and for Cork (IE) Marina Park, design work is being finalised to create a resilient water park. Still ongoing, is OKRAs most prominent project to transform 56 ha of urban public space in the heart of Athens, with a focus on urban bioclimate and alternative modes of transportation.
