SCENARIO
1. Unmet needs
A chemical cleaning shop would be so useful for his leather jackets, which his mum never learned how to clean, so they always end up looking very worn out.
There are great second hand clothes stands on the street but he thinks it looks very banal and pitiful so he would be fond of a better way to use second hand clothes and trade them. Maybe an organized bazaar for the community, where everyone would feel free to bring his own stuff and sell it. The benefits could be divided into personal profit and money for the community needs.
This seems embarrassing, but he’s been single for 2 years now. It is so difficult to meet someone near his home and spend time daily with her. Either he meets people far away from home and so sees them rarely, or he can find only ordinary people who are not his type for nothing. Seems so hard to socialize that he blames himself for being such a nerd.
He always wanted to have a morning run, but there is no proper space. He has tried the neighborhood, but he continuously runs over other people, so running becomes a zig - zag path.
2. Symbolic capital
He is the type of person who would greatly begin the day by having a nice Britishbreakfast in a neighborhood pub, but there is no such thing, except of far away from his home.
The only path he could walk through, that is relatively free, is the one in front of the social building ruins, but the bad smell is unbearable.
The entrance to the building he lives in is a narrow dark tunnel and it has become a nightmare to walk through it every day. Instead he would love to pass through a wide common garden, maybe stopping for a minute or so to observe the new things appearing there every day. So he could make more macro photos of plants and animals, and not wait until his never coming visit to the National Botanic Garden.
Sometimes he feels like people and the space are waiting for each other and somehow this waiting keeps on going for ever and ever.
Is it worth waiting for something you don’t even know what it is, or is just the idea of waiting interesting and surprising enough to keep you into it ?!
A strong reason keeping him quietly loving his house is the fact that he can look at the moon from his window and balcony. He doubts about if he could see it that easily from anywhere else.
3. Motivation
Photography is one of his passions and he can get great shots of the sky and the clouds every day, thus he spends half an hour every day in the balcony and his neighborhood park, usually in the afternoon, to complete his 365 skiesgallery.
He still lives with his parents in their old home, because he cannot afford his own space right now, but he has already started to save up every month in order to achieve that one day. This is why he pushes himself into staying in that neighborhood.
There are four different entrances to the park block, but somehow he only uses one, the same path for going home, for going out, for going to the park and walking.
The most common argument he has with his mother is about taking out the everyday garbage. She claims it costs him nothing to walk 100meters to the trash bins, but he feels so lazy like climbing a slope to reach there. But once his mother reminds him of his weight the last 6months, he gets anxious and goes there without thinking it twice. Maybe he secretly thinks this is going to help him lose weight. Or does he just want to skip his mother’s annoying monologue?
4. Triggers
There is a sports club nearby his home, so in order to keep himself fit, he plays football every Friday with his high school mates.
The bakery in the corner makes some great croissants filled with homemade chocolate and this is a great alternative to his missing breakfast so he grabs one before work, although the price is a bit spicy.
On weekday evenings he usually enjoys a nice coffee with some relaxing music, but the only places nearby are full of loud people and loud folk music. But since he feels lazy to take out his car and drive somewhere else, he ends up in one of those bars and so called clubs just to grab a couple of drinks and return home more tired and annoyed then he left.
He does not remember the first time he went out playing in the park, but he must have been a little child of course. Since when he continuous going there occasionally but if somebody would ask him why, he would have not known the answer. It’s just that everybody goes there. It’s like a blind date, they go there without knowing what is going to happen, they just have to go for some strange reason.
Last Christmas, when his older sister who lives in Italy came for a visit, he was persuaded by his little nephew to take him for a ride into the luna park. He did not thought of it twice, but took him by hoping the kid would spend like 2 hours there having fun while he could read his favorite newspaper in a corner. But once they got there, the owner of the toy cars asked him to pay 1$ for 10 minutes. Hell expensive! So the kid’s fun cost him like 3$ for only half an hour and no mood to read the newspaper any more.

Community gardens provide fresh produce and plants as well as satisfying labor, neighborhood improvement, sense of community and connection to the environment.
A city’s community gardens can be as diverse as its gardeners. Some grow only flowers, others are nurtured communally and their bounty shared, some have individual plots for personal use, while others have raised beds for disabled gardeners.
Community gardens may help alleviate one effect of climate change, which is expected to cause a global decline in agricultural output, making fresh produce increasingly unaffordable. Community gardens encourage an urban community's food security, allowing citizens to grow their own food or for others to donate what they have grown.
Community gardens improve users’ health through increased fresh vegetable consumption and providing a venue for exercise.The gardens also combat two forms of alienation that plague modern urban life, by bringing urban gardeners closer in touch with the source of their food, and by breaking down isolation by creating a social community. Community gardens provide other social benefits, such as the sharing of food production knowledge with the wider community and safer living spaces. Active communities experience less crime andvandalism.
