Interesting architecture as a facet of the built environment promotes healthful or active living by encouraging area residents to utilize the area trails. This is accomplished through three main avenues: Aesthetics, Residential Density, and Community Engagement. The aesthetics of the architecture is not only a combination of the design and location of the building, but also its history. The buildings along the beltline are unique as well as full of character and history. For instance, Ponce City Market was reconstructed in an old Sears, Roebuck and Co. building. The first picture is of Ponce City Market, it was taken in April. It displays the aesthetics and re-imagining of the old buildings into something new. The beltline has continued to breathe new life and purpose into these old buildings. Apartments, Condos, and Single-Family Homes line the area around the beltline creating a residential density within both old and newly constructed buildings. The other pictures were also taken in April and shows a row of town-homes which line the beltline.
