the Urban Homesteading Project
The Urban Homesteading Project (UHP) explores the act of making temporary public living areas as a means for creating positive interactions within a community.
Through the creative utilization of discarded, donated and traded living resources, the UHP seeks to promote non-exclusive spaces for public discourse and leisure, while maximizing the potential of our city’s vital street economy.
the UHP was created by Laura Chipley, Francisca Caporali and Pilar Ortiz in 2007
