Tactical Urbanism: Diversity of Useful Spaces
•
1 like•1,237 views
This document discusses tactical urbanism and the diversity of useful public spaces. It provides examples of temporary public spaces created for meeting, sheltering, and dining in cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and locations in Portugal and Brazil. The examples show how pop-up parks, cafes, and other spaces can provide benefits to urban residents and visitors on both short and long term bases. It quotes Enrique Peñalosa saying that humans need to walk to be happy, similarly to how other animals need their natural movements for happiness.

Tactical Urbanism: Depaving
The document discusses the depaving method of tactical urbanism, which involves removing unnecessary pavement in urban areas to create green spaces. Depaving began in 2007 in Portland, Oregon as a way to beautify neighborhoods, reduce stormwater pollution, and remove excess pavement. It has since gained popularity and support from government organizations and grants. Depaving can create space for other transportation modes like sidewalks and bike lanes while improving pedestrian safety. However, challenges include disruption during construction and limiting future expansion. Partnerships between organizations help advance depaving projects. Continued advocacy, marketing, and tactical urbanism are seen as key to the future growth of depaving efforts.
"Tactical Urbanism" or Vandalism
This document summarizes a tactical urbanism project in Hamilton, Ontario where local architects and urban planners implemented temporary, low-cost improvements to busy intersections. At the intersection of Locke and Herkimer Streets, they installed temporary bump-outs using traffic cones to slow traffic and make the crossing safer for pedestrians, which the local crossing guard supported. However, the city council called the improvements illegal and unsafe. In response, the organizers provided information on tactical urbanism and welcomed discussions with councilors on how it could improve the city. After the cones were removed, the intersection was retrofitted with permanent bump-outs and crosswalks.
Tactical Urbanism: Markets as Incubators
The document discusses how temporary markets can occupy underutilized urban spaces and serve as incubators for local food, artisans, music, and start-ups. It provides examples of proxy in San Francisco which curated temporary uses over 5 years in a stalled development area, the Brooklyn Night Bazaar in New York which was a 2 month planned, 3 day event to address stalled development and regulations, and Flash Markets in Boston which designed new kiosks to match the visual identity of the district and support a local fruit and flower stand owner.
Tactical Urbanism: Pop-Up Shops
Pop-up shops are temporary retail spaces that can revitalize neighborhoods. They benefit cities by attracting customers and activating empty spaces, benefit retailers by allowing them to test new concepts in low-risk ways, and benefit citizens by increasing foot traffic and variety of retail options. Examples in San Francisco and Oklahoma City demonstrate how pop-up shops have been successfully used to stimulate local economies and bring vibrancy back to areas.
Tactical Urbanism as a Professional Tool
The document discusses tactical urbanism as a tool for city planners. It defines tactical urbanism as lighter, quicker, cheaper experimental approaches to improving cities. Examples mentioned include chair bombing, wayfinding, traffic calming, pop-up markets and parks. The document advocates for using interim design projects to test street design changes and build support before making them permanent. It highlights specific opportunities for tactical urbanism projects in Oklahoma City, including narrowing lanes and removing slip lanes at 16th and Classen to create a gateway to the Plaza District.
NUEE Tactical Urbanism
The document discusses urban inertia and how the urban fabric changes more slowly than the uses within the urban space. It argues that architecture can play a role in harmonizing this discrepancy by intervening at a smaller scale through functional schemes that can influence urban growth patterns. It also notes that specifying amenities far in advance for urban planning is difficult, so architecture must be able to flexibly activate sites as needs change. The document calls for analyzing symptoms in urban development where urbanism fails and developing an "inductive urban enhancement" strategy where architecture approaches urban problems with flexible tools to meet urban goals from the bottom-up while urban planning works from the top-down.
Tactical Urbanism in Lithuania and abroad
Tactical Urbanism is the small scale- and usually low cost- implementation of urban improvements in the public space. It helps revitalize unused and derelict areas of the city, build community, provide alternative ways of cultural experience. I believe we need more of it. I was inspired by Street Plans Collaborative (streetplans.org/) from USA, David Barrie from UK (davidbarrie.typepad.com/), BMW Guggenheim Lab, and Lithuanian NGO Laimikis.lt. Thanks and looking forward to your comments and feedback. Let's rock the city!

Meta stereotyping and the girl geek
This document discusses meta-stereotyping and its effects, particularly on women in science. It explains that meta-stereotyping is being aware of the stereotypes that others hold about social groups one belongs to. This can lead to stereotype threat which negatively impacts performance. The document provides examples of how thinking about negative gender stereotypes about women's abilities in math and science can impair women's performance in these areas through stereotype threat. It argues that changing societal norms about gender and careers is important to reducing these psychological barriers women face in science fields.

Oxford Thương Yêu ebook - Dương Thụy
Oxford Thương Yêu lôi cuốn người dọc bằng những đoạn tả cảnh thiên nhiên tuyệt đẹp, những quan niệm sống cởi mở và hướng thiện của một lớp thanh niên trưởng thành trong giai đoạn đất nước được đổi mới. Ở nhiều đoạn, tác phẩm được khắc họa như một bức tranh lung linh màu sắc và sống động hiện thực.
"Kim chưa kịp vui mừng vì đã thuyết phục được Fernando, anh đã đập bàn đánh rầm đầy giận dữ: lười biếng thì có thể tha chứ dối trá thì không chấp nhận được!. Tiếng đập bàn cộng thêm tiếng thét bất mãn của Fernado rồi tiếng khóc rống não nùng của Kim làm thành một tạp âm đầy kịch tính, thu hút gần như toàn bộ sinh viên ở tầng lầu. Bọn chúng tranh nhau áp tai vào cửa và hai vách của hai phòng kế bên như những con ruồi bẹp dí bên hũ mật. Giọng Fernando cao vút:

Main Street Training August 4
This document discusses strategies for improving walkability and main streets. It provides data on typical right-of-way widths and traffic volumes for main streets in Oklahoma. Narrower lanes from 10-11 feet can help calm traffic and reduce collisions. While most main streets only have two lanes, even the busiest could function well with two lanes plus a turn lane. "Road diets" that remove travel lanes to slow traffic may be worthwhile to enhance walkability. The document also examines case studies of specific streets in Oklahoma cities, analyzing elements like parking, speeds, and design approaches to improve pedestrian comfort and safety.
00 iqc draft slides aug4 low_res
The document provides an update on progress for the Northwest Multimodal Transit Corridor in Oklahoma City. It identifies three priority areas for multimodal nodes: 23rd and Classen, Blackwelder and Northwest Expressway, and Independence and Northwest Expressway. For each area, it analyzes existing conditions, pedestrian and bicycle safety issues, and potential improvements under basic and robust alternatives. It highlights opportunities to enhance walkability and transit connectivity at these nodes through improvements like expanded sidewalks, marked crossings, bus shelters and dedicated transit lanes.
A Better Classen Presentation
This document summarizes a study of conditions along Classen Boulevard in Oklahoma City and develops principles and recommendations for improving the street. Key findings include high traffic volumes, a lack of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and a need to balance commuter traffic with creating a more livable street. The document recommends short-term pilot projects like intersection improvements and public art as well as envisioning Classen Boulevard as a long-term "great social street" with features like protected bike lanes, pedestrian-oriented development, and design scenarios to manage traffic.
Uptown Framework Presentation
The document summarizes the results of a neighborhood survey in Uptown regarding how people experience and get around the area today. It discusses physical features like sidewalks, crosswalks and vehicle speeds that influence the character of Uptown. It also examines street design strategies and transportation options to improve safety and create a more balanced multi-modal system. Finally, it looks at how building design and site layout impact the pedestrian experience and sense of context in the neighborhood. The purpose is to understand resident perspectives and identify design approaches that can shape Uptown's urban environment framework.
IQC Placemaking
The document discusses placemaking, which involves designing public spaces, buildings, and programming to create a sense of place and increase social and economic value. It draws from sociology and urbanism, with the goal of creating spaces that attract people and foster community. The OU Institute for Quality Communities focuses on placemaking through community input, data analysis, and developing blueprints for improving streetscapes in a lighter, quicker, cheaper manner. Examples of placemaking principles being utilized nearby are also discussed.
Western Avenue
The document discusses placemaking and infill development along Western Avenue in Oklahoma City. It notes that the public realm directly influences development and that community input is important. The goals are to calm traffic, maximize sidewalk space, create a district identity, and get the public space right through a placemaking blueprint. Current zoning regulations are assessed as falling short and limiting development opportunity. The framework proposes form-based regulations to provide predictability, promote development, and protect public investments while allowing an urban character on Western Avenue.
