INNER CITY PITCH NEED STACKS UP

Amanda Levette is a top architect and she runs a studio AL_A. Her company has come up with a strategy to help provide playing areas for inner cities and therefore help regenerate deprived urban space. The provision of small sided football pitches (and other play space) is limited due to lack of initiative, investment and basic space in inner city areas, so her "stacked pitches" design may provide a solution.

The 3 storey carbon fibre construction could be temporary and is easy to install. It is ideal for short term needs such as when there is bigger tournament in town-rather like the five-a-side space in the shadow of Wembley, or for longer term regeneration projects.

Easily packed into shipping containers, the structures can be moved at the drop of a hat and rebuilt where there is demand. There is space for spectators, changing facilities may be added and of course the space can be used for other acitivities such as dance, basketball and well almost anything you fancy, so long as a large area is not required.

So who is going to benefit from this first? Amanda needs an investor and once one (or more) pop up then communities may come together.
