What surprises you about the city

We initially asked anyone and everyone one simple question

What surprises you about the city

wwwkarenlyttlecouk

We initially asked anyone and everyone one simple question

We very quickly met and exceeded our target number of people involved

We received thousands of thoughtful entertaining passionate and moving responses Common themes emerged

We then asked what people would love to see happen in 2017

ldquo My exhibition Places in the city where anyone can have an opportunity to exhibit their art work for free First time exhibitors only Especially to encourage art from ordinary people of all ages and abilities - exhibitions not just restricted to established or professional artists Vacant shops (and other spaces) could be used as pop up galleries for short run exhibitions rdquo

ldquo A contemporary mural programme that puts art in the heart of the city - creating landmarks by shining light on forgotten areas rdquo

ldquo A giant sea organ which is built into the bank of the Tay that plays music by the wavesair crashing into it Ive seen and heard one in Croatia and it would be good to have one in Dundee maybe outside of the centre for the noise and to give a good reason to walk along to it rdquo

ldquo A network of advertised and signposted OFF ROAD cycle and walking routes between all places that host cultural events rdquo

ldquo a centrepiece created by the lsquoinland searsquo formed by the river enclosed by the two bridges and the Dundee and Fife shores This is a dramatic natural amphitheatre a lsquoDundee SuperBowlrsquo which could be filled by light displays fireworks river pageants University Boat race etc None of the other shortlisted cities can offer thishellip

ldquo The old arcade under the Caird Hall opened up for quirky shops and farmers markets The Tay Bridge lit at night (like InvernessGlasgow) The last few shops taken out of Discovery Quay and the area becoming a destination full of upmarket bars cafes restaurants surrounding the floodlit Unicorn rdquo

The 1039 ideas received were ambitious realistic and achievable (we only received a handful of negative responses)

ldquo A celebration of the creativity of the city over the last century Everything from textiles to computer games to the Beano Made in Dundee rdquo

Dundee Dreaming by WNHerbert

Let culture inscribe on its bannerswe hold these desires to be Deep Sea Dundonian

that a giant organ be built into the banks of the Tay to play shanties when the waves crash into it

that life-size whale sculptures should appear on the sandbanks as the tide goes out

that folk in huge inflatable footballs should race across the river

that the Fifie be brought back like the mammoth from extinction that the City Arcade be reopened beneath the Caird Hall

that a racing circuit for formula one grand prix should run through the city centre streets and up the Kingsway

that sculptures of Oor Wullies bucket be placed all over the toon for fowk to sit doon

that Clarkys Bakery should open 25 hours a day

that the Royal Arch be rebuiltthe Overgate restored

that a cable car should go from the city centre up the Law that the Law Hill be given over to unicorns for grazing in perpetuity

that the Law should be reinstated as a volcano that the railway tunnel through the Law Hill should contain

one million lightbulbs for James Bowman Lindsay

that the spire on the top of the old Chamber of Commerce be completed that the cobbles in Strawberry Bank be replaced by actual strawberries

that the holy stumps of the fallen rail bridge be illuminated that something should be done about the wheelie bins on Peddie Street that all the citys lights be turned off so the people may lie on their backs

strumming luminous ukuleles and watching the heavens that the rings of Saturn rise and halo the Mills Observatory

We Dundee took on cultural life of its own - this by poet WN Herbert

The digital platform created a real life network of supporters

We created downloadable pencil flags so people could show their support

3 Cut along each mark Then fold your flag in half down the middle yellow line

Slot your pen or pencil through the holes Herersquos one we made earlier

ldquo Thank you it has been amazing seeing and hearing people being positive about our city I have real hope that we are now on a path leading to an even better Dundee Keep pushing to convert peoples opinions about us as a city and build on what has opened my eyes for one to all the amazing things already going on now and our exciting heritage Big thanks rdquo

ldquo Thanks for your email and so sorry we didnt win It was a great campaign and I enjoyed being part of it Sending a big cuddle to the team who must be so disappointed All the best rdquo

ldquo I was very disappointed this morning but I agree that you have great impetus and I am sure you will be able to take forward all your plans Might take a little longer I wish you every success You presented an excellent case rdquo

ldquo I am very impressed with how professionally the team has gone about the whole bid bid and especially the way you have reached out to the members of the public supporting the bid You should all be very proud rdquo

ldquo Just know that you all did a fantastic job with the bid and it is a real shame that we didnt win it but what you have startedcreated in the process really brought a lot of people together to promote our great city so that in itself is worth a lot You all did a fantastic job getting Dundee this far so be very very proud of that - we certainly all are of all the hard work put in by your team and it is greatly appreciated by everyonehellip rdquo

Although we didnrsquot win a title We Dundee created something that would last much longer than a year(a few snippets from the hundreds of email we received from We Dundee supporters)
