Process, Not Projects Continuous change is a sign of health in a complex and vibrant downtown. Nothing is frozen in a city. Again, the garden analogy is applicable. New things get planted, grow, run out of space, move to new space, and the cycle repeats itself. This is what is exciting about cities.
People can move around, according to life requirements.
A single person can start in a small apartment, move to a larger one, or even a house, after marriage. With children, larger space may be needed. Alternatives are readily available. Similarly, a business might start small in one district, expand to another with growth, and yet another with more growth, and, perhaps, leave town with maturity and expansion. In a healthy city, businesses move and leave town, but new, emerging businesses take their place.
