: A space people will remember
This parklet created an abstract version of a city grid for people to just colour in. It was designed to make people stop, think, interact and spend time in the city. Great for business.

7) Rolla St, #Salford: Collects water, keeping itself and surroundings healthy.
This pop up park used a sustainable urban drainage system which stores the rain water that would usually run off the roof of the surrounding buildings into the road and channels it into the plants.
