I Wish This Was
May 11, 2011 by Karl
Saw this on GOOD this morning and though I’d share it. A really nice community project by Candy Chang that gives the public an opportunity to address all the empty shops and broken buildings in their neighbourhoods. By simply filling out a sticker, entitled ‘I Wish This Was…’, and sticking it to an empty building or shop, a local person can suggest a use for the premises that is more valuable to and in demand by the immediate community. Likewise broken or faulty public amenities can be highlighted.
Originally devised for use in New Orleans, the campaign and stickers can be applied to any city (full details right here). I hope they have enough for a small country in western Europe.
