One can see the stark contrast between the constrained environment of the Kachi Abaadi as opposed to the ‘Mahol Dost Sabz Gali’ project space iniated by the Heriatage Founation in the PSO back street. The street that previously had vehicular traffic is now converted into a green oasis, a community space where women and children can come and breathe some fresh air and relax in a clean environment. These eco streets are a great way to provide respite and spatial justice to the communities suffering from exclusion. We at the Heritage Foundation believe that every citizen has a right to breathe fresh air and live in a clean environment. Women, children and the shop keepers are taking ownership of the space as it is partially financed by the shopkeepers, and there is a sense of community developing which was not there before.
