Part V: My Final Vision
My Final Vision and How to get There
This section describes how I envision my revitalized place. I also discuss a plan to implement my vision. I have incorporated some of the comments I received from Part 4 of this project into my response. Also there is a link to the marketing flyer that could be used to generate interest and donations for the project.
This is my video
For this section I will address the three topics we have discussed in class and how they relate to my chosen place. I will also expand on a topic I covered earlier. For my conclusion I will consider ideas about what challenges may arise from implementing sustainable living for all.
