Gainesville CRA 2014 Annual Report by SAW

4

description

Most folks weren't exactly clamoring to read up on public infrastructure projects, so we turned to comic strips to illustrate our 2014 year-in-review. Styled in the spirit of a historic "Sunday Funnies" newspaper, you'll find anecdotes about everything from Downtown plaza renovations to landscape architecture. We hope that this report will tap into a childhood sense of nostalgia & spark civic interest in re-imagining urban spaces.
