The aim of this project is to engage the user with the more glaringly evident problems of the urban landscape seeking his intervention as a civil worker who has to uncover dysfunctional elements present in the city and to initiate the reparation, completion, extension, or modernization of public works specifically, not as a gesture but rather as a permanent urban intervention that takes advantage of the easy overlapping of terrains within which artistic practice can effect change. We anticipate an ethical dilemma in terms of the reversibility of conditions that the original project, do it, demands.

The project requires that dysfunctional zones, elements, or situations evident in an area of 1 square kilometer be identified and addressed.

Some public works which generally require intervention include:

Repaving
Reforestation
Cleaning
Expansion/signposting of pedestrian zones
Road signs
Lighting |
