The intricately drawn poster comes in black and white, so that it can be colored in before being proudly displayed on the walls of homes worldwide.

Although the City Works coloring page can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike, the level of detail and tiny spaces of the illustration suggests that it fits into the realm of [adult coloring books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorizy), a concept which has recently experienced a huge surge of popularity.
