Description

 Short-term, community-based projects—from pop-up parks to open streets initiatives—have become a powerful and adaptable new tool of urban activists, planners, and policy-makers seeking to drive lasting improvements in their cities and beyond. These quick, often low-cost, and creative projects are the essence of the Tactical Urbanism movement.  Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia provide background on the movement they helped found and offer five case studies and a toolkit for conceiving, planning, and carrying out projects. Tactical Urbanism  is the foundational guide for urban transformation.
