Summary

There is lots of derelict space in the city. We propose to create a project that will unleash youth creativity on shared urban space and facilitate, by creating dialogues between young people and civic institutions, future artistic regeneration of our city. Our highly visible initial project will bring together young people of different ages and backgrounds in a creative endeavour to leave a positive mark on the city. The project will be linked to urbanrebuild.com which will document the project and open dialogues on and about community regeneration that will help to facilitate similar projects in the future.

Such a good idea to getr the young involved in the environment in which they live in a positive way. There aren't enough spaces for the young in the urban world. We, the adults think it should be all ours!

This is a project of sound , relavant ideals and it is greatly needed for young people to get involved in shaping the city, for creative and esteem reasons. It has my vote.

Sounds a great idea. There is nothing like pitching in and building something to bring people together and at the end you have something physical to appreciate and act as a reminder of how people came together and will remain together.
