Popis: Opportunities to apply Tactical Urbanism are everywhere—from a blank wall, to an overly wide street, to an underused parking lot or vacant property. As we have described, citizens may use Tactical Urbanism as a tool to draw attention to perceived shortcomings in policy and physical design, and municipal authorities, organizations, and project developers may use it as a tool to widen the sphere of public engagement, test aspects of a plan early and often, and expedite implementation so that it’s easier to build great places. We describe such initiatives as tactical because they use a deliberate and accessible means for achieving preset goals while embedding flexibility into the planning and project delivery process. Using the framework of design thinking, in this chapter we’ll explain our approach to any Tactical Urbanism project, drawing out specific lessons for citizen or government tacticians wherever possible.
