M-City is an elaborate stencil project started in 2007 by Mariusz Waras. It consists of about 100 separate graphic elements (“buildings, infrastructure, organic elements, people, and heroes”).

The imagery was originally created as stencils:
During the construction of the largest works, the artist enlists friends and bystanders:
Online, M-City takes it to the next level with “an interactive application for constructing the cities on your own, from the same elements as were used in the real world. The constructor came to life to prolong the life of Cities when they cease existing in the real world.”
