Announcing the Live / Work Image Hunt
Placeology Users,
One of our goals at Placeology is to identify imagery needs among the community of urban development professionals and utilize the membership and database together as a resource to help satisfy those needs. With this in mind, we’re launching a new effort to conduct a targeted Image Hunt. By working together to collect photographs on specific subjects related to the built-environment we can build a resource that is more than just a database of urbanism, but also one that features the photos that development professionals need in support of their work to build better towns and cities.
Our first image hunt will be for Live / Work Units.
Live / Work Units are a hot topic in the design and development industry today, and although proven to be one of the most highly versatile building types, they often remain missing from the palette of suburban developers. With this Image Hunt we hope to aggregate the best examples of this building type from both new and old sites from around the country. Using Placeology’s built in Discussion feature for the submitted images, our community of members can turn this database of Live / Work units into a powerful resource of knowledge.
To enter your photos in the Image Hunt simply upload them and then tag each photo with #liveworkhunt. That’s it.
All images uploaded from today (Oct. 4) through the Thanksgiving Holiday will be eligible. Need a little incentive? We’re offering a couple prizes for people who join the hunt:
Top Contributor
The Placeology member that submits the most examples of valid Live/Work units will receive:

Everyone’s a Winner
Every Placeology member that submits 5 pictures of Live / Work Units will receive a coupon good for a one-month Plus membership to the database.
Thank you for your energy in helping us get this resource going. Happy (Image) Hunting!
