The adventures of Mr. Urban will be continued on the monitors in the city’s subway stations from October 15 to November 15, depicting the everyday happenings that Bucharesters usually face. The Adventures of Mr. Urban is one of the most recent projects in development under the I Love Bucharest umbrella. Illustrations in the form of comic strips, depicting Mr. Urban, a character representative of Bucharest, have been painted on the book shelves belonging to the second-hand book sellers who ply their wares in downtown Bucharest, in the Universitate area. The I Love Bucharest program began life in 2005, the brainchild of the Association in the Attic, with the support of MORA Foundation, and has since then concentrated on the regeneration of the capital city’s public spaces.
