VILLAGE revitalization
|
|
|
Technology, economic and social trends are now converging to promote these live,
work, shop, and play environments that enhance the more traditional urban areas.
People of all ages are making housing choices based upon infill locations positioned
near jobs, transit, entertainment and more diverse neighborhoods. They favor active,
participatory recreation. They crave stimulation, not escape. They want to pack
their time full of compact, high quality, multidimensional experiences. Their desire
is not to get away from it, but to get into it.
Housing brings vitality and provides an immediate market for commercial and retail
ventures. Its residents spend money, pay property taxes and spur social activities
thereby, creating more stimulating and desirable neighborhoods.
