Personally, I'm moving into a mode of DOING, rather than simply THINKING. I have had discussions with many different young (or energetic) urbanists, and the common thread we all have is our desire to get busy. We want to DO good work. We want to be out there playing in our urban environment, interacting with it and each other, and trying to find new ways to make the human experience better. One way to enhance our urban environment is through art, some of which is informal (like the below image). Recently, a planner friend of mine and I were discussing this amazing parking lot art that we came across online:

We kept talking about how we wanted do art projects like this, and even smaller street art projects that would be easier to plan, coordinate and implement. Our art project may not be exactly like the one above, but it certainly is our inspiration. We are still in the planning phase of our little art project, but it amazes me just how much you can actually do by energizing each other through an active discussion. I am happy to say that my planner friend and I are making headway on our little art project and have received the 'OK' from a property owner to commence our art project! Yay! Ask. You never know how easy it can be.
I'm excited! Let's DO this.
