Neighborhood Building & Activation ++ [improving communities]>> why tactical urbanism matters >> Tactical urbanism refers to the temporary, low-cost, and often grassroots efforts to make positive changes in a city or neighborhood to improve its livability and economic vitality. This can include activities such as: *pop-up parks, *public art installations, *temporary bike lanes, or *street festivals. Tactical urbanism is important for cities because it allows for quick and cost-effective ways to test out potential improvements before committing to larger, more permanent changes. It also provides a way for communities to be more actively involved in shaping their own neighborhoods and creating a sense of ownership and pride. Photo by Umbrella Sky Project

Parks, playgrounds, plazas and waterfronts bring communities together and are integral to our lives, livelihoods and happiness. Practical, local actions are outlined in the guide, that allow cities to engage meaningfully with local communities. Read the guide and transform your city: https://c40.me/3QJSHgb
