Pocket Parks: Future of Gas Stations

The big idea is to turn a carbon emitter into a carbon capture. Los Angeles suffers from a lack of green space. The pocket park turns the structures into a photovoltaic folly or a wind turbine to create energy. The shade from the structure creates a comfortable space for locals to enjoy the green space and shade from bordering trees creates a more comfortable walkable city. This pocket parks are miniature lungs for the local community in an ever densifying city. They create local gathering spaces for community gardens or trade. These pocket parks flip the polarity of the existing space from a negative to the positive

The main strategy is to create a menu of sustainable strategies to be deployed to all stations, from carbon capture greenery, to solar or wind through rehabilitation of the existing structures.
