Acquiring Sponsorship

From: Parking Day Sg Facebook Page, https://www.facebook.com/parkingdaysg/photos/a.681954715226510/1624432500978722/?type=3&theater “Citizen Activists around the globe turn parking spaces into mini-parks for a day to demonstrate the need for more urban green space. The annual event is organized online, but staged offline in dozens of cities on every continent around the world. It’s a demonstration of the power of social media and international collaborative activism… and a great way to have fun and relax.” From: https://parkingday.org/what-parking-day-is-all-about/ Our project We, design students of San Francisco State University, were tasked with participating in Parking day 2018. Teams were formed and were given out themes to follow through with our concepts. Our group was assigned the following theme: Safety Transit Environment.
