Abstract:
Through the development of the urban setting, spaces are created to service the growing city. Over the course of urban development, those spaces fall out of use for a multitude of reasons: technological advancement, socioeconomic development, government policy, etc. Regardless of the deciding factor which leads to the decline in use of a space, the impact of its misuse often serves as a detriment to the community which surrounds it. It then may become necessary for the use of the space to be adapted so as to both service the surrounding community in a positive fashion, as-well-as begin to promote positive growth within the neighborhood.
