When urban spaces are designed to prevent people from getting too comfortable – a problem that could be partially solved by coming up with some creative solutions for homeless housing – they perpetuate a cycle of constant motion that keeps city residents from pausing to notice, enjoy and interact with their surroundings. If only urban planners would take more cues from artists, and from the very people who use the infrastructure they design.

Sanitation workers who are also amateur photographers are documenting the city they keep clean.

Shiroto No Ran (which in English means «amateur revolt») is a political group based in Koenji. It formed about 4-5 years ago and argues for the creation of more public spaces where people could just be without having to pay. Their slogan is «Have Fun for No Money», which they think the city has to support.

Good slogan UF has to admit.
