A aquarium downtown would make downtown a 24 hour downtown?
Great urban centers have green spaces, and Hemisfair Park is the perfect spot for such a thing.
It's not like they envision the entire space to be green. Look at the site plans, there's enough land for creating a dense and urban district that is full of vitality. The green space will only add to that.
