Jane Jacobs Group 7
The area was very dull and drab when we walked around it. We found our inspiration in a colorful maple tree standing out amidst the gray cement. We decided to make the area more beautiful and build off the idea of the maple tree. We would tear down the buildings and replace them with businesses that boast organic products like an organic food co-op and an all-natural spa. In order to help the city of Grand Rapids, we thought, we need to help the people to feel better about themselves. Our group realized that we feel happier when we are around beautiful things in nature, if we are being pampered, if we are healthy, etc. We don't want to exclude anyone from this area, this should be a place where everyone could come, unwind, and boost their health and self image.
