Alana Semuels has written an interesting commentary published in City Lab regarding empty malls. The article entitles a"A new life for dead malls" provides ideas for thinking outside of the box for alternative uses of the empty space. Real Estate agents, property managers, politicians, community activists, chamber of commerce, business leaders all have a stake in creating an atmosphere of economic prosperity. What structures in your community might have alternative uses than what it was first built for?
