My life changed forever.

W that is east of Allen Rd. is receiving upgrades because it is of proximity to the subway as well as to the bus stops in general. As a result, this neighbourhood has undergone gentrification and attracted individuals of higher income. Much of the land across from Downsview Park (shown in green) is commercial or industrial, which does not provide an incentive for gentrification.

Also with this method, people can choose their favorite section and not waste time going across downtown to get to their other destination. The more one has to move to acquire what they need is going to tire them out and cause them to no go to the next area. Or the opposite can happen it could force consumers out of their comfort zone, and make them explore a new area because their favorite shop is there, like an

On January 21, 2016 at nine in the morning, I was in the parking lot of Main street barbeque of Durant, waiting to begin my assignment. It was 37 degrees Fahrenheit with an overcast sky. Alexis, Stephen, Mathew, and I were on a team together. I have been a resident of Durant for all my life and I have strolled down Main Street numerous times and I have browsed through some of the shops. It was difficult taking of the figurative lenses I wear of familiarity and I tried my best to be observant and map the city from a new perspective. I did not expect to see anything that was unfamiliar to me. Our exploration of downtown Durant focused mostly on the local self-owned businesses therefor we only explored the first four blocks and the shops there.

Many downtowns first emerged as a distinctive place due to elite residents with homes in the area, which served as meeting places for important business transactions. By the late 19th century downtowns had typically been laid out with designated business blocks (Ford 2003). The growth of the business block as an economic center and booming downtown forced out any competition that were not appropriate with “high rents, social pressure and architectural change” (Ford 2003, pp 45). This was the origin of the spatial structure and land use patterns that are associated with contemporary downtowns. The origin of the town structure is most commonly affiliated with European cities as models of spatial layout. Specialty business and retail districts that characterized American downtowns and what we now image a good downtown to be are directly linked to it European counterpart. The key characteristic that defer from the European model was the tendency for American cities to be street-oriented rather then place-oriented. This contributed to the more linear structure of the city, business pursued locations on the “main street” rather then near major plazas or religious buildings (Robertson 1997).
