A City Center In A Car-Oriented Society

Duncanville, Texas, and the project for transforming Main Street, offers concepts, and solutions, which can be applied to many cities across the United States: and to many cases all over the world in Japan, Germany, France, Singapore etc. The essential problems being tackled by our entirely new approach are: User involvement for all citizens and business-people Formation of a coherent pedestrian oriented community center within a car-driven business district. Concern with the health of a growing economy sustaining itself through its own effort: the main street as an economic engine Focus on human considerations, and a ground, throughout our efforts, on providing a place for the community which focuses the meaning of inner life.
