We will have two presentations on "tactical Urbanism", by Easthampton City Planner Jessica Allen, and Lisa DePiano; permacultural designer, and Mobile Design Lab instructor (http://mobiledesignlab.org). We will have a brainstorming session afterward around the possibility of creating a tactical urbanism project in Easthampton.

I am just starting to learn about tactical urbanism. Researching on line I found this definition (quoted from http://www.dreamhamar.org/2011/09/about-tactical-urbanism/):
“Tactical urbanism uses the city as a site of experimentation, deploying pop-up parks, vacant retail reuse, or unsanctioned street furniture as way to reprogram the urban realm. The practice traditionally takes an activist position in relationship to environmental, political, cultural and economic factors. However, as the practice is increasingly being absorbed into mainstream thinking on cities, it is critical that we look closely at both the underlying assumptions and resulting effects.”

We'd love to see you there!
Best,
Lisa
