In front of apartment buildings there's often a beautiful green lawn which sole purpose is to be looked at, even though apartment dwellers often lack a nice outside area...
What a waste of space...
This Instructable gives a friendly, fun and foremost harmless way of reclaiming some green space for and with the help of the neighbours.
A nice side effect is that it also helps to build community...

If your mission is to reclaim land for yourself and your neighbours, it is kind of obvious to look for a location around your own apartment building. If you're feeling cheecky and are in for some kind of fun trouble, look for random apartment buildings overlooking a central plot of land.
For organising purposes and the good of the common public, this central place should be easily accessible from the street, so a closed off court garden might not be your first pick.
Count the number of possible allies that are living in these buildings. Checking the number of mailboxes will give you a clear indication and the possibility to jot down names for the invitations.
Roughly measure (by pacing it for example) how long the outline of the plot is for step 2

A very beautiful concept! The flags turned out gorgeous and strong. I wish you could have done the workshop with the old pieces of textiles though. I would have enjoyed listening to the stories of the different people. A grey concrete block of building certainly flowers up with the flags! It's a nice and colorful improvement. Keep it up! I'm in for the summerproject!
