Ever since Shaun started this series, I’ve been noticing DIYDPW signs everywhere, in my community, in my travels, all around. I’ll be sharing some of what I’ve been discovering in this blog channel, along with Shaun. Enjoy!
DIYDPW is a frequent blog post highlighting global examples of Do It Yourself Department of Public Works projects. These are defined as any examples of municipal signage or infrastructure, generated by citizens outside of state-sanctioned means, that fulfill a perceived need in the area within which they are installed.
