This lesson could
also be applied at the neighborhood or main street level by ensuring
that a community center -- or even a senior center -- is located
in the heart of the community. Too often, these buildlings are
located strictly on the basis of land costs, and result in underused
facilities that are difficult to reach by any other means than
driving a car. An adjunct to this principle is that such buildings
must be open to the public to realize their full community function
as a focus of public gatherings of all kinds. |
