An action within the project „Actopolis. The Art of Action \/ Bucharest-Sud. Build your own city!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

We asked the inhabitants of the southern part of Bucharest would would they do if they were mayors. Moreover, we invited in the mayor’s office all those people who at least once asked themselves “What can I do for my city?” The mobile office was specially designed to inspire people to make decisions that can transform the city into a city belonging to the people.<\/p>\n

\"POZA<\/a><\/p>\n

Bucharest is famous for being a massive amalgamation, but its northern part is by far more famous and privileged, while the south is almost like another city. A hidden area, difficult to reach, with social and infrastructural imbalance, but also a part of the city with great diversity, with good, alive places, with a discreet but authentic potential.<\/p>\n

Why wouldn’t it become the best ground for civic involvement, for different urban visions and for a responsible exercise of imagination? We played around, imagining the south of Bucharest as a city in its own right. We built a mobile mayor’s office that we installed in three public places. The chance to become mayors was offered not only to the nearby residents, but also to the rest of the capital’s citizens.<\/p>\n
