Tactical Urbanism
1. A deliberate, phased approach to instigating change;
2. The offering of local solutions for local planning challenges;
3. Short-term commitment and realistic expectations;
4. Low-risks, with a possibly a high reward; and
5. The development of social capital between citizens and the building of organizational capacity between public-private institutions, non-profits, and their constituents.
This is from the Street Plans Collaborative “Tactical Urbanism” guide. Forget Daniel Burnham; make a lot of small plans.
