Football Stadium Turned Community Garden
As part of a city-wide urban greening program, Taipei turned an abandoned football stadium into a community garden. Here’s an overview of the terraced garden that’s taken over Zhongshan Soccer Stadium from James Stewart on Instagram. A couple of screenshots from the video:
So cool! (thx, alaina)

I love this, but I keep thinking it's from The Last of Us
I always thought that similar unused stadiums (Oakland Stadium) could be converted into housing for the homeless. Seating areas could be modified into dwelling areas, Common areas on the inside could be converted into retail, schools, etc. Field area could be garden, recreation area. Parking areas could be for van parking. Lots of electricity, lighting, water and sewer infrastructure already exist. It would just take some imagination..
You put your weed in there …

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
