The project provides a civic approach to urban planning, is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The grassroots initiative advocates free and open access, social commons to facilitate a collaborative city. It shows that there are new possibilities of access to our public spaces and demonstrate that there are a lot of possibilities to make our city more livable and inclusive.”
