Our heroes proved themselves against the best at URBANIA, their struggle reported live via Twitter and Flickr. Urbania live reports and rock bands/competitors interviews were given at radio stations.
Social networks acted as community sharing points.A 40" teaser leading into a 1/2 hour TV-show unfolded street hero stories.
