Then, when these spaces connect and share, the impact will be huge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 18pt;\">For this model to realise its potential \u2013 and grow from strengthening communities, to impacting society &#8211; we need reusing empty buildings to now become the done thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 18pt;\">You can be a part of this &#8211; the very nature of the logic of \u2018respacing\u2019 is to put the power in the hands of communities.
