Install a planter box on a bare Manshiyat Naser stairway landing

The long open stairways connecting Manshiyat Naser's street levels are almost entirely bare concrete and stone — a planter box on a landing adds a spot of green and a place to sit a bag down without it being one more thing on the ground. Standard: UN-Habitat safer public-space guidance — SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Before/after photos of the landing. Method (UN-Habitat safer public-space guidance — SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Choose a stairway landing with host or shopkeeper go-ahead. 2. Build or place a simple wood or repurposed-container planter box. 3. Fill with soil and drought-tolerant plants. 4. Water the new planting. 5. Photograph the finished planter. Done when: Before/after photos of the landing.

$180 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos of the landing.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
