In cities where a faded industrial area exists, a creative community often follows. It’s a well-established cycle of urban regeneration that has played out in Berlin, London, and New York. Attracted by cheap rent and large, empty spaces, the creatives come, building up areas with independent cafés and stores before inevitably being priced out of the market by the very gentrification they helped to bring about."The environment should encourage fortuitous encounter and open community"A new national initiative, which aims to increase green spaces in our cities by 20% by 2020, launched last week with an event at The Goods Line in Sydney near the Powerhouse Museum. “Since Dubai is a relatively dispersed city, having a design district helps create a platform for people in this specific field to interact on a much closer level,” says Ayah Al Bitar, a young designer and graduate of Parson's School of Design who has taken a studio in the district.
"Our goal is to make a contribution to the landscape of an aesthetic and human value". A sense of community and opportunity for cross-pollination was “nonexistent” in Dubai
“Urban heat islands, poor air quality, lack of enjoyable urban community areas are all poor outcomes when green spaces aren’t incorporated into new developments and large scale building projects.” and"The facility must be able to change with grace, be flexible and non monumental"
