Data: 5/27/2016 <br />3. Historic Structures <br />In the past, numerous old buildings were lost in the downtown core area due to <br />demolition or neglect. While not all of these structures were historically or <br />architecturally significant, it is clear that our urban heritage was not <br />considered worthy for preservation or re -use. Today, the Agency aims to take an <br />active role in celebrating that urban heritage by preserving and reclaiming obsolete <br />or underutilized buildings as well as parts of the urban landscape in need of <br />improvements, such as the Park Blocks, that form an important part of the fabric <br />and history of downtown, which is part of our legacy for future generations. <br />4. Parks and Plazas <br />Downtown plays two roles in our city, as both the shared civic, cultural, and <br />economic center, and as a neighborhood of its own. Downtown needs to be served <br />by parks and plazas that provide public gathering spaces, room for events, and areas <br />of nature in the heart of the city. As development continues downtown, the role of <br />these urban open spaces becomes even more important for livability, for <br />conviviality, and as amenities to draw and sustain a high quality and diverse mix of <br />commercial, governmental, residential, and cultural uses. The open spaces that are <br />currently downtown (Broadway Plaza, the Park Blocks, and the Hult Center Plaza) <br />do not appear to meet the area's needs for open space as they are insufficient, <br />deteriorated, uninviting, in places not accessible, and overall not conducive to <br />incidental or intentional use. All of these have obsolete or deteriorated features. <br />Report on the 2016 Amendment <br />
