Part 2
Over the past few years and even the last few months, housing prices and living expenses have skyrocketed and job markets have become increasingly competitive. One of the age group most affected by this situation is young adults, people ages between 18 – 24.
The project focuses on transforming the city to cater to their needs. This can be achieved by creating an urban strategy that redefines the definition of public spaces for young adults as a network of smaller, local hubs with activities designed towards a younger crowd. The goal is to instill a sense of community and to ensure that they have spaces to express their creativity, socialize with others, relax and learn and develop practical life skills that are useful in their future. It also implements a cycling network as a sustainable strategy to connect different young adults’ public spaces, with an eventual goal of connecting the entire city together.
It's important to create an environment that will guide and ease them towards adulthood.
