I really like this project because it’s basis is reclaiming the public space, for exactly that: PUBLIC SPACE. I don’t think that it’s real statement is to ‘get rid of vehicles’ but it is about creating a public environment in a dense environment. These are temporary public spaces, but they are definitely an IN YOUR FACE statement that is inclusive of the community and their surroundings.
.
Another reason why I think that this is important because a lot of times there are people who don’t know what is legal and what is illegal. This is a legal movement and they have found ways around the system to create a public statement. There are many people who want to reclaim public space, but aren’t sure how to do so.
