Canal sculpture with telephone poles .The Clear areas in this sculpture represent areas in Scottsdale that have not been built yet, or are under development.

From January 25 through January 30, 2007, Scottsdale residents and visitors had the opportunity to see the city in a new form. The Scottsdale in Jell-O project, was an assembly of hundreds of miniature buildings made of Jell-O, lit from below, and put on display for viewers to see and smell. The pieces represented both the existing area around the Civic Center and the envisioned areas around the new Waterfront development on the Arizona Canal, with future development cast as clear buildings and trees. The glowing backdrop of Camelback Mountain completed the scene.
