San Francisco Skaters Turn Rundown Plaza into Vibrant Economic Hub
In an awesome purple cow, San Francisco’s troubled United Nations Plaza was transformed not by city planners, but by skateboarders.
Once an economic black hole, now a lively skate scene attracts visitors, shops, and renewed community spirit.
Cities everywhere should take note: sometimes (oftten) economic revitalization doesn’t need expensive consultants or big budgets, just authentic local culture and a little freedom.
Embrace your city’s skaters and other people you might overlook, look down on, or roll your eye at; they might save your downtown.
