The over commercialization and development of the area results in the loss of sense of space. The over- reliance on tourism therefore makes it almost irrelevant to the local people. What was once a market that served the people are now not even being used by the local community. The lack of greenery in the area also creates an issue of comfort and walkability. The loss of sense of space also stems from the decreasing number of locals in the city. The absence of the local community results to the lack of attachment to the city, therefore creating more of a visitor center, rather than a livable city. The idea is to bring in farms into the city in order to create a more self sustaining / liveable city. It acts as a center for the production and distribution of local fruits and vegetables, and an education platform for the future generation. The introduction of urban farming into the city also creates a sense of awareness in sustaining the environment. The major role of the center is to also educate visitors, locals, tourists and especially children the importance of leading a sustainable lifestyle in order to ensure the future of the city.
