Why do we need to focus on regeneration and getting people involved with community and green space?

Regeneration in the area is really important for out target audience especially, because the current community are probably afraid of them. People see young people now a days as a threat and an intimidation, little kids to adults find teenagers to be scary and they feel uneasy around them. This is because they are always hanging out in the streets and seem to be doing potentially bad things, but we're not all like that. Getting the community involved in helping to make a fun and supportive youth club would let them see that as long as they have a place to go, to make friends, to help with homework or any other issues they have, to do activities that aren't based around drugs, alcohol or anti-social behaviour and to most importantly have fun, that teenagers really aren't as intimidating as they are portrayed in the media. Regenerating somewhere that doesn't actually have much use or isn't really regarded as a community space would be ideal to transform into something that can be used for something good. Although this isn't a transformation of a green space, regeneration of those are important because overgrown areas could also be used as an enjoyable park or allotments, so it could expand for a lot of audiences.
