Tactical Urbanism
What is it?
Tactical urbanism is a casual process, accessible to almost anyone. These ideas do not require big capital, bureaucratic processes, and long-term negotiations among investors. With little investment in terms of time, money and effort, it yields good results thus demonstrating longer term opportunities. These are spaces made not only for but by the community.
