Fort Worth will become part of a global initiative as the city\u2019s Near Southside District participates in its first<\/p>\n

Park(ing) Day Celebration. Park(ing) Day\u2019s mission is to call attention to the need for more urban open
\nspace, generate discussion and debate around how public space is utilized, and to improve the quality of
\nurban habitat.<\/p>\n

Park(ing) Day began in 2005 when a single parking space in downtown San Francisco was converted to
\npark use for the day. Since then, the movement has taken on a global setting as citizens, artists, and
\nactivists collaborate to transform parking spaces in park spaces. Park(ng) Day has since been adapted
\nand remixed to address a variety of social issues in diverse urban contexts around the world. In recent
\nyears, participants have built free health clinics, planted temporary urban farms, produced ecology
\ndemonstrations, held political seminars, and built art installations.<\/p>\n

Elements of Architecture, Inc., being located in the Near Southside District, is excited to be a part of the
\nits inaugural participation in Park(ing) Day. Our Southside District has been identified as one of the most
\nwalkable neighborhoods in the Dallas\/Fort Worth area, and this event will showcase the success of the
\nNear Southside District as a pedestrian\/green friendly urban neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Forty parking spaces along Magnolia Street, between 7 th Avenue and Henderson Street, have been
\nreserved for the September 21 st 2018 event (11:00 a.m. \u2013 9:00 p.m). Most of these spaces have already
\nbeen claimed by various local firms. Follow us as we plan, build, and finally convert our parking space
\ninto an alternative green use for this global event.<\/p>\n
