Street Transformation
Exhibition Launch: October 4th at 13:30 @ Foyer
This exhibition presents successful practices of Street Interim Implementation, a tactical urbanism method that uses temporary and flexible materials to enable community engagement in the transformation process. By transforming streets into livable public spaces that prioritize the safety of children, their caregivers, and all pedestrians, Street Interim Implementations provide an opportunity to rehearse the transformation through data collection and local participatory methods before making permanent and high-cost investments.
