From food hub to thriving gateway
Remember that time when your mom repurposed her old pair of red (gasp!) jeans and turned it into a tote bag you can use for school? You promised yourself you’d never be caught dead in that pair of jeans, but the moment you arrived at school with your “new” jeans tote, everyone was “ooh”-ing and “aah”-ing at such an ingenious idea.
What about that really old suitcase you used for years? It traveled with you to your most favorite places so you refused to part with it. Its broken wheels and cracked hard shell, however, have rendered it unfit to travel with you. You were broken-hearted until you realized you can give it a new purpose by turning it into a pet bed. And it was like hitting the jackpot: you no longer have to throw your vintage suitcase away and at the same time, your furry, four-legged baby now has her own ultra chic, one-of-a-kind bed.
Repurposing land use
Repurposing something to fit a new use can indeed be beneficial. This concept does not only apply to clothes and accessories—it may also be done to furniture, vehicles, and even land.
In real estate, repurposing a parcel of land can turn out to be favorable to the community, and even to its neighboring areas. The redevelopment of idle or outmoded properties into masterplanned, satellite communities can give these areas new purpose.
