Bend It
The more dense our urban environments become, the more valuable open and natural settings become. This struck me first when reviewing how the adjacent community has appropriated the abandoned train route to commune with nature and neighbors in ways that are informal, organic, creative, and productive.

Bend it gets my vote
My vote is for Bend It.
This entry is so inventive. I love the use of moveable railroad platforms and reinventions of functional space. There is an innovative spin on old world meets new world here too. Very Paris fresh!
Such a creative design for community. My vote for BEND IT
Great project. Love how it retakes the public space. Is the spirit of Paris.
A great way to use the space - flexibility and bringing the community together
