Urban developing can have a somehow unexpected corners and hidden places.
Migration and pressure to provide enough of available housing, create an expansion in every direction. Of course, all construction/building developers seems to be under a pressure, to make a lot of quick money of what will sell for most, on every opportunity. (Its not true, but the loudness big one, really making a bad name for industry.) But when the infrastructure, like plumbing and so, are already stretched out, you cannot build another apartment building on that parcel. And its those infrastructures network, that is expensive to upgrade.
We having a clear examples of bad results, when a healthy regulations are put aside in order of delivering the housing promise. Or when a personal interest pushed out a clarity a reasoning. And is those bad results, who lead to those regulations. But developers are pushed to deliver results, to try they luck. That's why, its always a little victory, when deputies, actually put down they foot, slamming the discussion table; (Its not going to happen!), when they assess the impact of the project on the surrounding area.
Its a direct opposite to a single tall building, that promised its residents a panoramic view, only for the residents to realize, that in time developer build around it a lot of more tall building, practically making that panoramic view an expired promise/feature.
Its not an uncommon from logistic perspective, that as cities expand, they more a more resembles a maze. Welcome to the cramped ancient village, where people actually get lost in maze of streets as logistic regulations was not a thing at that time.
Back to our city:We can wonder of, what is behind a corner of this building, block, parcel, and so on. But instead of another apartment building, or private house with a garden, (based on fact that from two direction there are those types of parcel), you will find: a local garden like park.
Well, first of all, is not directly on eyes to see, when is near to end of street and hidden behind a four story tall smaller apartment building. Not like the bigger play grounds for kids on beginning of the street, that you cannot not notice. That one had its area surrounded by a woven fence, several attractions for climbing, hanging and swing and even have a football field. Legends says that this field was filed with gravel substance of rock and dust. Then a grass start to grown in bunch on corners, as a trip trap for players who dint pay attention for a those sticking molls and kick into a rock. As they spread, players moved to better, so the grass managed to spread onto entire field on its own, or with a help.
Lets get back to our hidden gem: Second, as the smaller park is behind a corner, you literally muss pass a small makeshift parking loot inside of fenced area, that look like nothing interesting is ever be here. Yet there is this a regular one opening in fence on other side.
At third, at first glance it look like a private garden. But when you step in, you will be like: "Eh? What this park doing here?" You can see a (white?) gravel walking path used in park so people will not run, benches to sit, table for a picnic, a flower pots cup boxes, a few spots and things for a collective time spending games. Like throw a small ball area, table tennis, and even dedicated chess table. In contrast, its like a small resting place for adults, to hide in shadow of a garden fruit trees that was previously left unmaintained for several years. But its truly classified as a park, according to the park like trash bin, and gardener who taking care about it.
Yet, even the birds only occasionally fly there to feed on berries from trees, as there are always more lucrative places to be. However, if you spend here enough of time, quietly reading a book on a bench, you can notice that animals treat this park as a play field or a buffet. Like the birds that fly here to just make a noises as if they play a game of tag for a minute before they go elsewhere, not much carrying about lots of berries left on ground. Or that silent snake sneaking in grass from one point to other. Or the cat that come here to sit for a moment, look around, and then walk away. At last bees a bumblebees are common visitors on blooming flowers. And if you look down, you can see ants having a road in gravel.
And so… Because the little park is behind a corner, many people from the street dint know about it, or only heard about it as if it was a local urban legend. There was those who dismiss it as drunken talks or so on. But yet, it can be seen as a secret room, in a grand plan.
