Does anyone else really like the whole mall aesthetic (probably an 80′s/90′s kid thing) but instead of consumerism there’s micro-apartments, a whole lot more vegetation, and a commons area? Maybe with keeping the whole food court thing as a place for people to eat together.
That would be a sweet co-housing development. There are plenty of abandoned malls in a lot of cities, if I’m not mistaken. You’d probably have to re-zone, but if you did mixed-use then you could have some small grocery and handmade item stores. It would be like your own little micro-arcology. This is brilliant!
On this day, 30 October 1944, the left-wing Greek People’s Liberation Army liberated Thessaloniki from Nazi occupation. At dawn, GPLA units stopped the Nazis from blowing up power plants and food factories, while others attacked retreating German units. By 2 PM liberation was complete and the partisans began parading through the streets. The population then gathered and elected representatives of self-government. The city remained under the control of the local community until February the following year when it was taken over by the right-wing Greek state. Over the course of the occupation, Thessaloniki lost 10% of its population, 96% of its Jewish population and 90% of its industry. https://ift.tt/2RpUTIq
