Searching for the soul of the city
During my visit to Dublin in 2006 I really enjoyed the "wall of fame" .
I found this a nice initiative in Temple Bar where they put photos of famous Irish people on a building that was nearly collapsing (it looked like it anyway). Could be a good initiative to use in areas where reconstruction is in issue. Put photos of locals on the walls and maybe you get more community participation. I would be very interested to hear a bit more about the background of the wall of fame and the response to this initiative.
