RE: Can parks revive decaying U.S. cities?
The only way this will work is if the people in the community where the park is to be located takes pride in their neighborhood. The vast majority of folks living in the cities could care less about the space they call home, and it is quite evident when you stroll (with your life in your hands) through some of the poorest neighborhood.. The people living there don't care, so why should anybody else?
