This Beautiful Wooden Pedestrian Bridge Was Crowdfunded When The City Couldn't Pay
The Luchtsingel is a footbridge in Rotterdam (in the Netherlands) with two unusual attributes. One, it is all wood--17,000 individual planks. And two, it is funded by individual donations, not the city's coffers. Each piece has someone's name on it.Conceived by a local design practice called Zones Urbaines Sensibles, the idea to reconnect a part of the city cut off by traffic.
