Reimagine the high streets
Too many high streets are mainly takeaways and betting shops, and unfit for purpose residential flats. Offer retail and living space for enterprises that make society and individuals healthier eg
- spaces to exercise: stationary exercise bikes/mini gyms/basketball hoops/table tennis
- spaces for wildlife: ponds/flowerbeds/vegetable beds/wildflowers
- spaces for children: graffiti walls/chalk walls/homework areas
- spaces for older people: seating/toilets
- spaces for exchange and repairing: fix it shops/book exchanges/toy libraries/plant swap
