As the city goes through the up and down of the economy, abandoned areas produce crimes and wasted spaces in the surrounding community. Sometimes Brownfield area redevelopment is more beneficial than new development because it provides economical savings by reusing existing infrastructure. When a development opportunity comes along for abandoned area, it will create sense of place and revive the community. The development is more compact and more independent on parking, and the infrastructure cost is less when the property value increases. In the urban city, Planning around transit station is commonly known as the transit oriented development. public street and walkway create public space integrated with the transit station and commercial spaces. The nature theme-oriented street for pedestrian provides citizens for resting area. People can park at public parking garage.
When there is an opportunity for redevelopment, the turnaround strategy focusing on environmental concerns will accomplish synergies for community, people and economy. The site use design concept within financial allowance is essential for this project to be successful.
