Image Mosaic On The Streets in The New Urban Downtown Mesa

A sampling of some of the small and big and wonderful and surprising expressions of people that don't come from a Chain of Command - people are spontaneously Creating their own Place-Making - no committees to get permission from, no bureaucracy, no politicos who take six months to come up with a vision - these are the visions created by everyday people using their own resources and talents.
