Pop-up parks, plazas, and full street redesigns have become powerful, adaptable, creative, and low-cost tools to drive lasting improvements in communities the world over. Whether creating vibrant plazas seemingly overnight or re-imagining streets to better support transit, walking and cycling, these types of projects, known as “tactical urbanism,” offer a way for communities to gain support for infrastructure investment while inspiring residents and civic leaders to experience and shape their urban spaces in a new way.

 

Join the Maryland Department of Planning and the Smart Growth Network at 1:00 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, May 18, as Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia, authors of Tactical Urbanism: Short-term Action for Long-term Change, share the key findings from heir book and what has changed since it was released.

 

Participants of the live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits (live attendance required).
