The development of the logistics and productive functionalities of the Port of Piraeus is resulting in a wide dispersion of new inland locations, not only inside easy recognisable spaces but also outside of them. Through a close observation of the Aspropyrgos backport, this article investigates how the expansion of Piraeus takes the form of spaces marked by activities that oscillate between formality and informality. These activities complement each other, and give rise to a multiplicity of urban conditions.
