Overused and Underutilized Spaces • Through observation, it is obvious that the distribution of activities in both indoor and outdoor spaces is uneven. This is evident in the high occupancy of shops in the ground floor level, whereas the first floor level has a large percentage of vacancy. In addition, there is a scarcity of parking spaces, where- as the underground levels are not function- ing as garages. Also, this mismanagement is evident in the public space activities, which are focused in some areas and absent in others. 4.1 | Summary Of The Main Findings And Characteristics In The Area | 128
