Urban spaces are often left in such a state that they become an eyesore for the areas they are within, without intervention it is often the case that urban spaces will get worse and become littered with rubbish and waste products. One way that many urban spaces are being transformed is by introducing street furniture into the areas, this allows them to be turned into aesthetically pleasing areas that can be used as a social space rather than leaving them to become a wasteland that affects the whole community by wasting the space.

Street Furniture

A huge way that many abandoned urban spaces are being transformed is through the introduction of street furniture, this can be oden in many ways such as by adding a simple bench or by going for something more creative like recycling some of the waste materials that can be found and using these to base the furniture design.

Introduction of Clean Up Projects

Urban areas cannot be truly renovated without having a proper clean up of the land, in many cases the community will put together a project where they come together to pick up the rubbish in the area and start getting plans in place to transform the urban space. Unfortunately these projects are not always funded and the resources are not always available which is why it is such a persistent issue in many different areas of the world. As we go forward it is the hope of many that more of an effort will be placed on cleaning up these urban spaces so that we can have gorgeous social spaces available to the public.

How You Can Help

As more and more awareness is spread around this issue more people are wondering how they can get involved with any urban space renovations in their area. It is my advice that you start by looking at any official schemes or community drives that are going on as these are going to be much easier than trying to do something on your own. It is also a very nice feeling to meet up with like minded members of the community coming together to totally transform an urban area.
