The importance of urban planning towards achieving a sustainable built environment is paramount although it is not the only factor. Through transportation planning cities achieve environmental goals as well, This paper examines the paradigm of Greece and how the lack of integration amongst these tools impact cities and space. The study examines the relationship between land use and transport and how they interact in shaping the built environment. Moreover, there are highlights of the impact urban planning has of existing roads and how new roads impact existing land uses. For this reason, proposed guidelines for the creation of that framework which will address land-use planning and transport as a single system, addressing more effectively the impact on urban space by the lack of coordinated urban and circulatory planning, creating a sustainable urban environment that respects the citizen – user.
