We built this city: the smartest urban crowdfunding projects

The Luchtsingel complex in Rotterdam includes a rooftop vegetable garden and park connected to the centre of the city by a 390m wooden pedestrian bridge, which is scheduled to be finished by the end of this year. Crowdfunders can fund a section of the bridge, even just a plank, in exchange for being able to customise it with their name or message to the city. (The Guardian; Photograph: Ossip van Duivenbode)
