Document Summary

Why the city is badly designed: a lot of apartments, not well surrounded and are isolated, a lot of open spaces are not seemed to be watched/controlled. Old buildings decay: bring safety and hygienic issues. Moreover, there is a lack of dialogue with the mayor. There is a lack of political will to make regent park better. Possible solutions: rebuild, renovation, change the mentality. By empowering a community, people will want to make changes: use of community agencies, retail space (+ jobs)
