As the old saying goes, “To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.”The white and grey hues of the winter canvas, the fluffy cold snow, the misty fog, the naked trees and glistening icicles hanging off them are a magical masterpiece by nature itself. The puritanical quality and serenity of the winter landscape is so immersive and ethereal that it can have healing effects on one’s body and soul. The carnival-esque atmosphere during Christmas or Hanukkah, the beautifully decorated streetscape, the rumbling bonfires, the smell of mulled wine to people carving figurines/snowmen, sledding or casually skating on the sheath of ice are a sight to cherish and enjoy. Winter shouldn’t be an introverted time of the year. Rather, its beauty should be admired and celebrated by all of us.

Do you go through the downtown (or city center) in your city and think something's missing? Or that something could be improved? If you had the opportunity to bring in a catalyst that can change the character of the place - what would it be? If you could add a building or retrofit some existing ones or perhaps add a park system that could exponentially improve the quality of the downtown - wouldn't that be great? If yes, then this challenge is for you!
