Description
Tactical Urbanism: A Guide to Short-term Action for Long-term Change In the 21st century, cities face numerous challenges, from population growth to climate change. To address these issues, urban activists, planners, and policymakers are turning to short-term, community-based projects that can drive lasting improvements in their cities. These projects, known as tactical urbanism initiatives, have become a powerful tool for urban transformation. By creating vibrant public spaces, reimagining parking areas, and engaging residents and civic leaders, these projects can inspire support for permanent investments and shape the future of urban spaces. This book provides an in-depth look at the Tactical Urbanism movement, its history, and its applications, as well as a detailed toolkit for conceiving, planning, and carrying out projects. With case studies from around the world and practical guidance on how to adapt initiatives to local needs, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in urban transformation.
