The answer is the built environment, also called what is built where. This really is made up of the way that structures connect to other structures and people. It's an effect on what the region is used and by whom.

When you go around a place - a community, a or a park - what makes you want to stay or get free from these as rapidly as possible?

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

On a local level, take a peek at two city 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 guts by walking past several derelict buildings and exceeding train tracks.

Downtown Clearwater is facing a significant change in its built environment.

Though builders who've come to downtown Clearwater have admired the street grid, the block lengths and the scale of Cleveland Street, how successful they're in developing an urban area which will ask people to stay is still to be viewed.

A new streetscape, the development of Water's Edge, Station Square and Clearwater Centre, the recovery of the Telephone Exchange Building (formerly the house of a plasma target Cleveland and Garden) and the completion of tasks by the Church of Scientology will all donate to the downtown experience.

The idea that most of these will create a host that makes social experiences happen is an fascinating one, one that will depend on the private and public sector working together to produce it happen. [ We're Listening To You]
