carpet tile by lemberthe regis from germany

A pragmatic invitation to gardening within urban environments, this tile provides inhabitants with a dedicated space for their flowers, vegetables or whatever they like to plant, without requiring any specific pot. The garden, although visible by passers-by, is kept protected from dog feaces, that are the main obstacle to gardening in the streets.

It can also be used in other ways, so as to smoothen angles between flooring and buildings, or pavement and street.

Both these uses have a positive impact on the city's cleanliness. Showing the urban environment as less agressive has been proven to generate more respectful behaviours indeed (for instance, one tends to keep parks cleaner than street areas).
