Through public participation, this project responds to the need for a democratic process against the urban blight, which is a systemic issue under the malfunction of regeneration. A new community landscape is formed. By redesigning the intertwined space between the shopfront and the street through a new type of ownership, we can secure the shopkeeper's leasehold, which is currently under insecure private ownership, and create a new relationship between businesses and the neighbourhood. This project also tackles the use of public funding. It argues that funds should be used and collectively designed through public participation for street improvements, in order to create systemic change, realised only through a democratically-accountable process. With a shared vision, the community is empowered to reclaim their public space and ownership and this resilient future will be realised by protecting affordability and longevity, enhancing occupation and engagement, and through a participatory process and care.
