Qualitative Measures_Converging Lines

I began with the study of how the UDB line is converging with the everglades and how one affects the other. Furthermore I studied the interaction of the UDB line converging with the city limits of Homestead as defined . I found it interesting how development takes place within the line and how the line shapes the city. The UDB line not only converges with the everglades, but the Atlantic Ocean. At the site of the Homestead Air Force base, development is inching towards the ocean. Abstracting the spaces allowed me to see different relationships within the spaces than I had not previously noticed. It gave me a different perspective on the land.
