"I can bring this to your city”
or Artistic Principles According to City Planning

I can bring this to your city is an exhibition at Island Projects that explores modes and strategies of architectural intervention and artistic idealism. The phrase “I can bring this to your city”, considers different historical and current utopian and dystopian imaginings of the city that question urban regeneration in terms of both fanciful idealism and social engineering, and points between the two extremes.
