This week in Kickstarter
Imagination can run wild in the city, and we’re always amazed by the vast array of urban spaces we see on Kickstarter, from the world's first underground park to a river-filtering pool and beyond. This week we’re sharing three projects that do the vital work of keeping urban creativity alive.

Projects We Love
The Wabash Lights - The Beta Test

The Wabash Lights - The Beta Test

By Jack C. Newell
What better place to stage a massive public art project than on a train line that thousands of people use every day? The team behind The Wabash Lights is working to put a site-specific light installation along a stretch of elevated train tracks in Chicago, and this project will test the illuminated display so that the final piece can be as awe-inspiring as possible.

Sweet Ruin: The Brooklyn Domino Sugar Refinery

Sweet Ruin: The Brooklyn Domino Sugar Refinery

By Paul Raphaelson
The Domino Sugar Refinery was once the biggest sugar factory in the world, and has existed as a visible marker of NYC’s East River landscape since 1882. In the last decades, it fell to spectacular ruin, and its final demolition commenced last year. This book is a stunning record of the factory’s final days as documented by photographer Paul Raphaelson.

Cinema Pameer - A Documentary

Cinema Pameer - A Documentary

By Martin Von Krogh
Sure, we go to the movies for entertainment and inspiration — but the theater is also a place where all kinds of people come together to escape everyday life and appreciate the stories of humanity. The Cinema Pameer in downtown Kabul, Afghanistan is a unique theater, as it’s in a city that’s trying to find its footing after years of conflict. This documentary tells the story of the profound effect this sort of community hub can have.
