The clear answer is the built environment, also called what is built where. This really is composed of the way that structures interact with other structures and people. It's an effect how the location is employed and by whom.

When you walk around a location - a neighborhood, a or a park - what makes you want to remain or escape these as rapidly as possible?

The solution may be the built environment, also referred to as what is built where. This really is composed of the way in which that structures connect to people and other structures. It's an impact on how the location is used and by whom.

On a nearby level, take a look at two urban developments: Centro Ybor and BayWalk, (both of which I frequent, and both of which I love). At Centro Ybor, one gets from the parking garage to the middle by walking past a couple of derelict houses and going over train tracks. At BayWalk, one walks out of the storage and nine times out of ten hears live music from the single artist, trumpet case open and ready to receive your pocket change. You go by way of a path lined with public art and seats. It's often questionable. BayWalk stands before you as a lure to get you there.

Downtown Clearwater is facing an important shift in its built environment.

Although builders who have come to downtown Clearwater have respected the road grid, the block lengths and the degree of Cleveland Street, how effective they're in developing an urban neighbor hood which will invite people to stay remains to be viewed.

A fresh streetscape, the development of Water's Edge, Station Square and Clearwater Centre, the restoration of the Telephone Exchange Building (formerly the home of a plasma focus on Cleveland and Garden) and the completion of projects by the Church of Scientology will all contribute to the downtown experience.

The theory that all of these will create a breeding ground that makes social experiences happen can be an interesting one, one that will be determined by the private and public sector working together to produce it happen. [ We're Listening To You]
