Form and function

How would you design the city of the future?

There’s a town nearby that was bought by an artist. The story goes that he met with some success and started buying up buildings one by one.

He renovated them and rented them out to businesses. He bought all the homes and renovated them and rented them out too.

It’s a fun and beautiful place with a great farmers market and a strong art vibe. Lots of music, galleries and good food.

I love any excuse to visit this town.

If I was going to design a place, it would have to be beautiful and inspiring and fun. Shops and stores to walk to. Plenty of green spaces, parks etc. Lots of emphasis on form with function. Variety, sustainability, culture. Beauty and design, there would have to be a lot of that.

Chester already was a beautiful location. Some fresh historical colored paint, new windows, and some vision goes a long way, it seems.
