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!

1. Tactical Urbanism
more (radical) ideas for a better living
Mindaugas Danys

2. 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
