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. Whether creating vibrant plazas seemingly
overnight or re-imagining parking spaces as local gathering places,
they offer a way to gain public and government support for
investing in permanent projects, inspiring residents and civic
leaders to experience and shape urban spaces in a new way. Tactical
Urbanism, written by Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia, two founders of
the movement, promises to be the foundational guide for urban
transformation. The authors begin with an in-depth history of the
Tactical Urbanism movement and its place among other social,
political, and urban planning trends, and a detailed set of case
studies demonstrate the breadth and scalability of tactical
urbanism interventions. Finally, the book provides a detailed
toolkit for conceiving, planning, and carrying out projects,
including how to adapt them based on local needs and challenges.
Tactical Urbanism will inspire and empower a new generation of
engaged citizens, urban designers, land use planners, architects,
and policymakers to become key actors in the transformation of
their communities.
