Economics

At Queens Plaza, the park landscape under the bridge will provide space for skateboarding, gardening, nursery operations and other activities that will provide a constant presence. Local artists will also have space to construct their work. The introduction of spaces that can generate income, such as nurseries, is essential to most new parks, which can no longer be sustained solely through public funds. We consider sustainability in terms of economic feasibility, the potential to survive over time without depending solely on philanthropy or public funds.
