Άνω Πόλη is a neighborhood in Thessaloniki, Περιφέρεια Κεντρικής Μακεδονίας, Greece. It scores 7.3 out of 10 overall — good — based on AI analysis of satellite and street-level imagery across five categories. That puts it top of the 4 areas measured in Thessaloniki, in the upper half of the list.
The strongest measurements here are social infrastructure (10.0/10), community spaces (9.4/10) and human scale (9.0/10) — social infrastructure is the highest single reading on the page.
The weakest are privacy (4.0/10), green spaces (4.6/10) and transit access (5.5/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — privacy matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Άνω Πόλη gives up ground against better-scoring areas.
Nature covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Άνω Πόλη scores 5.8/10 here, which is unremarkable.
Underneath it: green spaces 4.6, environmental quality 5.8 and natural features 7.5, each out of 10. The gap between natural features and green spaces is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Anthropos covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Άνω Πόλη scores 7.4/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: spatial comfort 6.0, privacy 4.0, human scale 9.0, street life 7.7 and climate comfort 8.5. The gap between human scale and privacy is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Shells covers the buildings themselves: their condition, design and upkeep. Άνω Πόλη scores 7.7/10 here, which does well.
Underneath it: building condition 7.0, architectural quality 9.0 and upkeep 7.0. The gap between architectural quality and building condition is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Society covers the shared side of a place — meeting spots, services, culture and safety. Άνω Πόλη scores 8.4/10 here, which does well.
Underneath it: community spaces 9.4, social infrastructure 10.0, cultural life 7.5, civic governance 6.5 and public safety 6.6. The gap between social infrastructure and civic governance is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Public safety and civic governance are measured at national level rather than street by street, so those two read the same across every area in Greece — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.
Networks covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Άνω Πόλη scores 7.2/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: transit access 5.5 and road connectivity 8.9. The gap between road connectivity and transit access is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Scores are only useful next to what you actually want from a place. Pulling out the measurements that tend to decide it:
Street life — how much activity the imagery shows on the street itself — scores 7.7/10, with cultural life at 7.5/10, high for a residential area.
This page is built from 1 analysis of Άνω Πόλη. Each analysis reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area, scores the five categories above, and the page shows the average.
Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. The community section on this page is where residents fill in that sort of detail.
