Tactical Urbanismmore (radical) ideas for a better living

Reclaim, reuse, revitalize

• Tactical urbanism enables and entices people to reclaim public space and create a new friendlier environment putting pedestrians and community first

• Small scale actions serving larger purpose

• “the lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act.” Jaime Lerner, Architect, urbanist, former mayor of Curitiba, Brazil
