Podcasts about Tactical urbanism

What should you do when your city won't fix things, even after years of advocacy? The answer might be guerrilla urbanism, aka tactical urbanism. I talk to Bike Curious about the people who are tired of waiting, and just get things done by themselves. Is it legal? Well ... it's sometimes better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.Tactical urbanism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_urbanismExplainer: Tactical Urbanism - https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2022/09/explainer-tactical-urbanism.49521Tactical Urbanism: Short-Term Action for Long-Term Change - https://issuu.com/streetplanscollaborative/docs/tactical_urbanismManchester man draws penises around potholes so the city will fix them - https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/2/8535259/penis-pothole-activism-wanksy-englandSafe Street Rebel - https://www.safestreetrebel.com/A Slower Safer Wiggle - https://www.safestreetrebel.com/blog/a-slower-safer-wiggle/Safety Activists Close a Lane on Franklin - https://sf.streetsblog.org/2024/03/14/safety-activists-close-a-lane-on-franklinCity Wide Slow Rides - https://www.safestreetrebel.com/slow-rides/People Protected Bike Lane (Polk) - https://www.safestreetrebel.com/polk/Just A Minute (Valencia) - https://www.safestreetrebel.com/valencia/Crosswalk Collective - https://crosswalksla.org/our-crosswalks.htmlGuerrilla bus stop benches - https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/guerilla-bus-stop-benches-are-spurring-berkeley-officials-to-install-official-seating-for-transit-passengers/Bike Curious: https://twitch.tv/bikecuriousNot Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of ON CITIES, host Carie Penabad speaks with Anthony Garcia, co-author of Tactical Urbanism, an urban design theory that promotes swift, grassroots-driven changes to urban space. Rather than waiting for top-down transformations to cities, Tactical Urbanism empowers individuals and communities to take immediate, tangible steps to reshape their surroundings. From pop-up parks and guerrilla gardening to temporary street art installations, Tactical Urbanism embodies the belief that small, incremental changes can lead to profound and lasting improvements in the way we experience and interact with our cities. Tune in Friday, February 16th at 11:00 AM EST, 8:00 AM PST on the Voice America Variety Channel; and find all previous episodes of ON CITIES on your favorite podcast platform.

A traffic demonstration to slow down drivers and reduce crashes shows promise. A state law says counties with wind or solar ordinances that are more restrictive than state guidelines can't access state incentives - a state House bill would let counties that nearly meet the guidelines get them too. Mammograms are a less effective diagnostic tool for people with dense breast tissue, but patients may not know they have dense breast tissue - lawmakers want to require facilities to assess breast tissue density and provide that information to the patient. Exposure to cigarette smoke puts dogs at a six times higher risk of bladder cancer - that's according to a new study of Scottish terriers out of Purdue University. A Senate committee approved a bill last week that would hold back thousands of students who do not pass a state reading exam. An Indiana lawmaker wants to fix systemic problems with the use and oversight of restraint and seclusion on students. Want to go deeper on the stories you hear on WFYI News Now?

Some U.S. Cities are taking back streets from exclusive use by motor vehicles to protect and prioritize vulnerable road users – pedestrians and bicyclists – and to enhance neighborhood livability. This process is advanced under the banner of Complete Streets, streets designed and operated for all users. Atlanta, Georgia's variation is called Tactical Urbanism, a low-cost, quick-build approach designed to change the overall use and feel of streets and public spaces. To learn how Atlanta uses tactical urbanism, we talk with Betty Smoot-Madison, Deputy Commissioner of Planning for the Atlanta Department of Transportation.

Cities around the world used quick, cheap materials to transform streets for people during the pandemic, but tactical urbanism can, in theory, be initiated by communities and individuals to transform a bare patch of their neighbourhoods at any time. Laura, Ned and Adam talk about their greening efforts, and Laura shares recordings from her giant planters project, during two weeks of construction and two community planting days. Adam also talks about £254m of funds recently awarded for active travel in the West Midlands.Some links:http://tacticalurbanismguide.com/Adam's van made the news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-57569344 Possible's campaign to enable more community parklets nationwide https://www.wearepossible.org/actions-blog/get-parklets-on-your-streetsLondon Parklets Campaign: https://londonparkletscampaign.wordpress.com/people-parking-day/ The story of Brenda Puech's People Parking Bay: https://www.peopleparkingbay.com/We hope you enjoy this episode of Streets Ahead, a podcast dedicated to the world of active travel, liveable streets and people-focused urban design.We're on Twitter and welcome your feedback on our episode: http://www.twitter.com/podstreetsaheadIf you're reading this, please can you take 1 minute to give us a rating and write a review?

Lock-downs, work from home, and fears of crowded indoor space during the pandemic have shifted how many of us use streets. From “streateries” and street racing, to drive-by birthday parades and outdoor schools, our streets have become significantly more social. Will these shifts last if and when the pandemic eases – and what do they mean for public space, transit, and mode-splits? Professor Vikas Mehta of the architecture and urban design programs at the University of Cincinnati, Tony Garcia of Street Plans Collaborative and Tactical Urbanism fame, and Professor Kari Watkins, civil engineering at Georgia Tech will help us figure it out.

#Mobility #SafeStreets #MrBarricade Cities and municipalities and working to do more with the acres of space they own as 'streets' to make them more than simply a thoroughfare for cars. @MrBarricade aka Vignesh Swaminathan uses modern design methods like Tactical Urbanism & Quick-Build techniques to speed and humanize projects for the people who'll live in them. @MrBarricade's mission is much more than bringing a smile or pointing out a protected path, Vignesh is all about teaching members of the community how to use the tools of local government, to learn the language, attend the meeting, join the councils and commissions, and drive change in more than safe streets. In this far-ranging conversation, from the Highway Capacity Manual circa 1965 and 'Level of Service' to the reprioritized thinking in 'VMT Vehicle Miles Traveled', Tactical Urbanism and Dutch design. From Curb management to PEVs. And lots of references to Janette Sadik-Khan. I learned a lot. Hope you do to. Thanks Vignesh Let's go ride!  YouTube Version Click Here

Show Notes:And here's our landing page for this episode - for access to the videos and photosPop-up protected bike lanes, separated cycle tracks, open streets, and even plazas are some of the pilot projects that we have seen over the past ten years but even more so in the past 18 months as cities around the world strive to redefine public space to be more accommodating for people versus the easy movement of motor vehicles.Mike Lydon is co-founder of Street Plans and co-author of the book on Tactical Urbanism and he has been at the forefront of not only moving these concepts forward but hands-on in their implementation. We discuss some of the encouraging trends he's seeing around the world and he shares some observations from his recent trip to France, including a first hand look at the cycling revolution taking place right now on the streets of Paris. Clearly the enthusiasm is there, at this moment in time and the City is trying to build out a comprehensive cycle network similar to those seen in The Netherlands. Some of the videos we've seen in fact remind us of typical Dutch cycling scenes.We also talk about some of the exciting work his firm is doing here in the states, including plazas in NYC, an active transportation plan for New Haven, and a corridor project in Culver City, CA in the LA area.Opening video sequence used with permission from Streetfilms.

A look at Barcelona's fascinating urban history and bold plans for the future. Dr Zaida Muxí Martínez from the Barcelona School of Architecture at UPC explains the challenges facing the city as it seeks to transform its public spaces. Cillian Shields visits a so-called superblock in the Sant Antoni neighborhood to see if cars, bicycles, electric scooters and pedestrians can co-exist. Alan Ruiz Terol recounts the history of Barcelona, from the ancient Roman walled city to Ildefons Cerdà's 19th century expansion plan. This week's Catalan phrase is "ser mes vell que l'anar a peu," which means "to be older than going on foot." Presented by Lorcan Doherty. 

This week's guest on The Bottom-Up Revolution podcast hails from Utah and he's here to talk about a cool tactical urbanism program that is helping make streets safer with an incremental, resident-driven approach in Park City.   Tactical urbanism is an approach to public space that involves making what we at Strong Towns like to call “small bets”: small, temporary projects that require little to no money to execute, which allow people to test out a new design in a public space. It might be a crosswalk created with temporary paint or a bus stop enhanced with lightweight, moveable lawn furniture. The goal is to trial a concept and, if it works well, perhaps implement it more permanently down the line—striping that crosswalk in permanent paint, or installing a full-size bench at the bus stop. Austin Taylor is helping lead tactical urbanism efforts in Park City, Utah, where he's employed as a transportation planner. The program in Park City lets residents decide on and propose projects, then provides city funding and city help with the permitting process to execute them. The city even collects data on the impact of those projects. And, as you'll hear from Austin, that data shows success in slowing down cars and making people feel safer through street design changes—something we've been advocating for at Strong Towns for years.  Austin's also a dedicated advocate for safer streets, leading the Bike Walk Provo organization, and he's been featured at Strong Towns in the past. He's a long time Strong Towns advocate!

In this episode, we'll discuss the potential of tactical urbanism in creating more space for people to meet, walk, socialise and play safely.As we move towards a new COVID-19 normal, it is crucial to rethink how our streets and open spaces operate and how they could be more flexible in their usages and functions. Tactical urbanism could help achieve that in a systematic and cost-effective way. Some examples include turning parking spaces into temporary parks, pop-up cultural and retail events, the creation of outdoor seating to improve public spaces, or the introduction of temporary cycling lanes.How can we lock-in some of these temporary urban experiments to get longer-term gains? How is Singapore exploring the use of tactical urbanism?To know more, I met with Lorenzo Petrillo, founder of LopeLab, an urban design studio that focuses on the transformation of public spaces for the purpose of bringing people together, including street closures, pocket public spaces and large-scale pop-up events.With Lorenzo, we discuss the different facets of tactical urbanism in Singapore, from Park(ing) day to new green parklets and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and we explore the new frontiers of place-making in the city state.And because “a picture is worth a thousand words”, check out below some snippets of LopeLab's street activation strategies in Singapore's city centre (the famous Keong Saik Road that we explored in Episode 03 - Adaptive Reuse for Vibrant Precincts). Of course, the Urban Ventures street closure event is pre-COVID

In this episode, Sara Joy and Eric continue their conversation about place with Chris Elisara at Ormond Center to consider the various ways we impact the places we live, work, play, and worship. Placemaking can sound like an abstract concept, but it is essentially helping our places become places worth caring about. Anyone or any church can engage in placemaking.Some key questions addressed in this episode are:1. Is placemaking possible? Place is not just given, we contribute to our places in ways that honor God and in ways that dishonor God every day.2. Is placemaking Biblical? Part of our calling as humans and as followers of Christ is to bless others through activities like placemaking.3. Is placemaking ecclesial? Not only is it appropriate for the church to be involved in placemaking. The church has a unique role and perspective on placemaking.4. Is placemaking scalable? Placemaking can be as simple as putting a dog bowl with water in front of the church or as complex as helping to design a network of sidewalks for the community.In addition to talking about placemaking itself, we also discover that Chris's actual job title is ‘Studio Lead for and Senior Fellow for Placemaking' at Ormond Center. That definitely gives The Embedded Church podcast some street cred.Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Related ResourcesPalaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life by Eric KlinenbergRedemptive Placemaking Toolkit: Discerning your church's mission in the built environment by Sara Joy Proppe & Edward Dunar (Use discount code EmbeddedChurch at checkout to receive 15% off purchase price.)Tactical Urbanism by Mike Lydon and Anthony GarciaSeaside City of Ideas - a documentary film about the making of Seaside, FL and the community design intentions behind this New Urbanist townParish Collective - an organization connecting people to be the church in the neighborhoodPlacemakers - a group of planners, urban designers, form-based code wranglers, storytellers, advisors and advocates working on making placesProject for Public Spaces - an organization bringing public spaces to life by planning and designing them with the people who use them every dayProximity Project - a consulting and education firm that helps churches align their mission with their property assets for the flourishing of their neighborhoodFind these Key Terms on The Embedded Church website- Place- Placemaking- Tactical UrbanismShow CreditsHosted and Produced by Eric O.

Strong Towns is a nonpartisan organization. Rigorously so. But it’s fair to say we allowed ourselves to be hopeful when then-President-Elect Joe Biden picked Pete Buttigieg to head the U.S. Department of Transportation. As mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Buttigieg assembled a brilliant team of people who broke with the status quo, slowed the cars, made walking and biking a priority, and helped revitalize that city’s downtown. A recent Washington Post headline summarizes it well: “In South Bend, Pete Buttigieg challenged a decades-old assumption that streets are for cars above all else.” The Post article begins this way: For years, South Bend drivers held in their heads a magic number: Get the car to hit that speed, and you could whip through downtown without seeing a red light. When Pete Buttigieg took office as mayor of the Indiana city in 2012, he changed that. He pitched a $25 million plan to convert downtown’s wide, one-way roads into two-way streets with bike lanes and sidewalks. He hoped making it safer to get out on foot would encourage more people to spend time and money in the area. Some residents who were skeptical of the changes became converts: “Downtown was a ghost town. You wouldn’t go there after dark,” one man said. “The results speak for themselves. It’s more than just the number of businesses, it’s the feeling of it not being dead anymore.” Every week on Upzoned, host Abby Kinney, an urban planner in Kansas City, and regular cohost Chuck Marohn, the founder and president of Strong Towns, take one story from the news and they “upzone” it—they examine it from the Strong Towns perspective. This week, they discuss the Washington Post article and why—in Chuck’s words—our cities need “a heaping helping of what South Bend did.” Abby and Chuck talk about how for many years, South Bend, reeling from the effects of deindustrialization and depopulation, focused on speeding traffic: “building more and more lanes for fewer and fewer people.” Then they describe some of the changes Mayor Pete’s administration made and what cities can learn from South Bend’s example of doing much more with much less. They also talk about what Strong Towns advocates can realistically hope for from a Mayor Pete D.O.T. On the one hand, Buttigieg says the South Bend program to slow cars and revitalize downtown will shape his approach to being Transportation secretary. (“It feeds my perspective on the value of local work around mobility,” Buttigieg told The Post. “I think a successful department is one that really empowers local leaders to makea and drive decisions that work in their communities.”) Yet, as Abby and Chuck describe, it will be a challenge to effectively allocate resources in a federal system designed for bad projects. Then in the Downzone, Chuck talks about how he has been captivated by the GameStop/reddit story. And Abby is loving Skin in the Game, by the “patron saint” of Strong Towns thinking, Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

We're back with part two of a chat with the wondrous Petra Barran. This week things get even more serious as these three human mouths get properly audible on some flat out VAST topics. Diversity, recalibration, social capital, gatekeeping and the lack of space within capitalist structures. Wowzer…TickyOff gets serious….and anyone who thought that was ever likely has an irregular head. Before Petra arrives there is of course time for some standard TickyOff nonsense. James has a new job and some new trousers. Sam has eaten a pie and had toothache. Oh and they begin what will no doubt be a long running discussion about ‘Tenet' which predictably moves into another hefty dollop of Tom Hardy chat. All of the above plus Petra and The TickyOff Boyz somehow move from The Ego Triangle into The Love Circle via some other Circles Of Fuckwittery…..

This week's episode is beamed into yer ear canals from The Garret where James and Sam are reunited upon the microphones in person for the first time since the worldwide covid calamity hellscape we all find ourselves in now, began. Said microphones are actually bust so huge apologies for the shoddy sound this week, and last week. We assure you said garbage sonics will be remedied by next week. Anyway, it's worth battling the mildly irritating sound to hear about the Ramsden family's very first visit to Sam's house. Yep that's right, James has never ever been to Sam's house, until a week ago. This summit of the two mighty Families Of TickyOff was quite the affair, involving Sunday Sauce, a vomiting child, a free handbag and a vast Kilner jar full of orange squash. There's also discussion of another twitter kerfuffle involving an Italian restaurant and the pair ponder whether or not insects drink liquids. After that highest of octane starts finally Petra Barran arrives. Among many other things Petra is the founder of Kerb, the street food facilitator par excellence. Petra discusses moving to New Orleans, being rather than doing, how to grow and surviving the recession. She is also incredibly wise upon some pretty grande topics such as financial empowerment, feeling a part of a place and why food is the canary in the coal mine for landlords and developers. All in all, there was far too much we didn't get chance to yap about so Petra will be back soon for part two of this pretty goddamn interesting triple mouthed babblefest.

I ask Gustavo how retail will survive in a post-pandemic world?

One of the most powerful and unpredicted outcomes so far from the Coronavirus pandemic has been the immediate change in how the world’s city streets are used. Pre-pandemic, many cities’ streets were mostly dedicated to moving motor vehicles back and forth in a monotonous rhythm of the daily commute. No longer the case, streets lay mostly empty from traffic replaced mostly by humans walking or cycling or sometimes even sunbathing. For the first time we’re using our streets for living first instead of moving first. This is not the same thing as the concept of tactical urbanism, because it wasn’t tactically planned for, but it has had the same effects as what my guest wrote about in his 2015 book titled Tactical Urbanism. Mike Lydon joins me on this episode of Livable City getting highly practical on how we can move forward, reclaiming our cities’ streets for humans to live on, not to just carelessly move through. Of particular focus, I ask Mike the details of how he brought the Open Streets Miami celebration into existence, a very popular local event where Miami closes down prominent streets to cars and reserves them to be experienced exclusively on foot or by bike.   Mike is a founding principal of StreetPlans, an urban design and planning firm. Mike is also author of the fantastically helpful and practical book to change where you live: Tactical Urbanism. Definitely pick up a copy of this book. Amazing tactical guides and workshops created by Mike to learn more on making specific livability changes: Tactical Urbanist’s Guide StreetPlans   You can follow the work of Mike on Twitter - definitely check his Twitter feed out as it has a ton of practical information and examples from cities around the world.

Tactical Urbanism is really just a fancy phrase for temporary installations in civic public areas. But what might seem like a simple change to your sidewalk or street for a few days can have a lasting impact on how our cities evolve, and how we inform the civic spaces of the future.

Strong Towns member Austin Taylor—Parking and Sustainability Coordinator for Provo City, Utah—shares how you can use tactical urbanism to create safer streets, including how to plan your intervention, how to get local government involved, and how to use your intervention to create lasting change.

Tactical Urbanism refers to projects done without permission from the local government or with any formal planning – it is DIY, low cost, and temporary. Tactical Urbanism is a tool anyone can use to get the public to pay attention to something the community needs, like more parks or bike lines, or even just to add some fun to the built environment. On this episode, we explore all kinds of Tactical Urbanism projects and find out who it’s for, its possibilities, and its limitations. Then, I interview Roger Cummings, co-founder of the Minneapolis-based nonprofit Juxtaposition Arts, on the organization’s early adoption of Tactical Urbanism and how they’ve used it to engage community members that might otherwise be left out of the urban planning process. It’s a big, fun episode! You can view the Show Notes + related content on our website at IsntThatSpatial.net!

Pop-up, Guerrilla, DIY or Tactical Urbanism; whatever the name, temporary urban interventions are increasingly popular in contemporary cities.   From community gardens and pop-up cinemas to outdoor art installations and mobile libraries, pop-up urbanism can take many forms. Much of the discussion about pop-up urbanism is celebratory in tone, highlighting the ways in which these transient practices are putting on display alternative lifestyles, reoccupying urban space with new uses, or reinventing daily life from the bottom up. Many claim that pop-up urbanism is a political activity that can be undertaken in pursuit of a more just or sustainable city. Various levels of government are latching on to the idea of pop-up urbanism, and even borrowing some of the ideas that are associated with the more radical notion of tactical urbanism as they design and plan the city. Some governments even think that pop-up urbanism might be a quick, and cheap, solution to fostering participatory, bottom-up city-making. And the private sector has moved into this space too. But as these perviously guerrilla activities becoming more mainstream and corporate are they losing their way as political projects that seek more socially justice and sustainable cities? Amelia Thorpe and Lee Stickells move us beyond the celebratory notion of the pop-up city. Lee takes us back to the 60s counter-culture to show that DYI urbanism has a long history. He talks about experimental architecture and his NSW State Library Nancy Keesing Fellowship research, titled Aquarian Green: Building new ways of living in the 1970s counterculture. Amelia discusses the different people, places and relationships that are involved in temporary urban interventions. Taken together, they consider the actual ways in which various pop-up practices might connect to questions of justice and sustainability in the city. Amelia Thorpe is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Environmental Law Programs at UNSW. Her research is at the intersection of law, urban planning and geography, drawing on degrees in Architecture and City Policy as well as professional experience in the planning, transport and housing departments in Western Australia. Amelia’s current research examines the ways in which understandings of law, ownership and belonging shape – and are in turn shaped by – practices of participation in planning. Prior to joining UNSW in 2012, Amelia was a director at the Environmental Defenders Office, Australia’s largest and oldest public interest environmental law organisation. Amelia studied law at the University of Oxford and at Harvard Law School, and is a member of the New York Bar. Lee Stickells is Associate Professor in Architecture at the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning. Lee’s research is characterised by an interest in the potential for architecture to shape other ways of living, particularly its projection as a means to reconsider the terms of social life – of how we live together. It is focused on developing histories that connect experimental architectural and design strategies with environmental, political, technological and social transformations. Lee co-edited The Right to the City (2011) and has contributed to anthologies including The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design (2013), Beyond Utopia (2012),Trash Culture (2010), and Heterotopia and the City (2009). His essays have appeared in journals such as ARQ: Architectural Research Quarterly and Fabrications. Lee is currently an editorial committee member of the journal Architectural Theory Review and a SAHANZ Editorial Board member. Read more about their work: “Pop-up Justice? Reflecting on Relationships in the Temporary City”, in John Henneberry (Ed), Transience and Permanence in Urban Development (London, Wiley-Blackwell: 2017)
