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 neighborhood 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTactical Urbanism\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. A detailed set of case studies, from guerilla wayfinding signs in Raleigh, to pavement transformed into parks in San Francisco, to a street art campaign leading to a new streetcar line in El Paso, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTactical Urbanism\u003c\/i\u003e will inspire and empower a new generation of engaged citi","brand":"ALLIANCE DIST - SF","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41860219175045,"sku":"PR435059","price":102.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.co.nz\/products\/tactical-urbanism","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
