This is lame. This flyer (and post too) tells us exactly ZERO about what “Building a Collaborative City” is, the point of it, and what this group is trying to accomplish.
Is it a city wonk art circle jerk or something?
Communications 101 and PR FAIL.
Seriously. I saw that flier and was all “ooh, shiny!”, which immediately lapsed into “uhgg, edward tufte would take that designer out back and drown him/her”.
Will the collaboration be “sustainable”? Will there be “synergy”, and a new “paradigm”? Will there be self-righteous brow beating from vegan urban farmers and bike advocates?
I think we should dialogue to form a consensus about new BIKE LANES

wow. now that sounds like a serious line up to discuss collaborative urbanism.

Urban Junkie – I love you.
Samuri Pizza Cats – Yes, let’s have tonight’s dialogue on visual information.
I would totally show up, XCE.
