The selected site area is unsafe, lacks seating, and is often dirty, which creates an unwelcoming environment for locals and visitors. This site holds significant potential to become a vibrant and inviting public space, especially given its proximity to both the station and the market, two key hubs of activity.

 

goal

Improve safety by enhancing visibility and creating defined spaces that discourage anti-social behavior, while introducing playful and interactive elements, such as colorful street art, pop-up seating, and mini-parks, to foster engagement and creativity. By introducing more seating and greenery, as well as improving cleanliness and lighting, the site will become more inviting and comfortable for a diverse range of community members. Additionally, creating flexible spaces that can host different activities, such as markets, performances, or casual gatherings, will encourage social interaction and a sense of ownership over the space. The intervention will ultimately focus on improving the relationship between the street, the surrounding blocks, and the open spaces, making the area safer, more welcoming, and adaptable to the evolving needs of the community.
