For example, the city is targeting approximately 700 vacant properties in weak market areas where large-scale investment – encompassing at least a city block – is necessary to catalyze private investment. In healthier neighborhoods, the city believes that increased code enforcement and homebuyer or developer incentives should be enough to reduce vacancy and stabilize neighborhoods.
I can hardly imagine life without art and culture, because they give impulses for new thinking and creativity. Art presupposes both openness and tolerance and opens up new ways of seeing things that we should not ignore and which are essential for defining our quality of life and our future in a positive way.
