I wanted to tell you about something I learned about in class this year. It was where cities were turning empty rundown lots and United Spaces in cities into green spaces, small parks and small gardens.
I think this idea is marvelous. It takes an abandon lot in a small park or a community gardens. Everyone in that community would benefit from this idea. People in the area can take advantage of the garden, they would have food that is health for them, and they would take pride in it because they are the ones taking cares of it. Most people take more pride in something that they need they were taking care of. I feel Aldo Leopold would approve of this kind of action, he is the one who took an abandoned farm and turned it into a native vegetation. …show more content…
The cities would be able to take run down area and make them into a beautiful place that the community around it could enjoy. It would take little or hardly any money for these areas to be kept up. Especially if the people in that area would take timeout of their week to take care of the area. So, it would not be a burden on the city anymore to maintain. I would like to help get something like this started in this area. It is a great idea for everyone involved. It makes the city more appealing to people who are looking into moving back into the downtown area of our city. This worked in downtown Detroit. It has turned the landscape into urban agriculture across the city. Besides growing food for the community, it helps people to learn, teach and spend time together. By doing this people of the community can develop a closer relationship with each other. They would look out for one another too. The people would take the time to spend with their neighbors. More cities should do this, may help cut down on crime it that particular community because it would give people a purpose of why they live where they live. This also good for the environment it helps make green spaces and this would help cut down on carbon emissions in the air, and the heat
