Philosophy
All cities are unique. The mix of location, history, economy, population, tradition differs from one city to another. That's why plans for inner-city renewal must be customized to fit local conditions and expectations. The sense of place, which is present in great cities, is created by the inventory of buildings built over a long period of time and rehabilitated many times for contemporary functions.
City renewal is smart growth. The key to downtown renewal is repopulating downtown districts by adapting historic buildings for residential use.
But people need more than housing. They need an environment that is safe, beautiful, convenient and inviting. |
