It’s no surprise that Tactical Urbanism, or Quick-Build projects, are an effective placemaking tool. However, how can we begin to codify a sanctioned process so that placemaking isn’t a one-off effort, but rather an accepted, if not routine way of delivering cities with a stronger sense of place attachment? This presentation will share examples of sanctioned programs implemented in Fayetteville, AR, Burlington, VT, and Miami-Dade County, FL that cover a wide array of both successful and unsuccessful placemaking projects. The panel will also share their success scaling such initiatives, encouraging a future for how we-- cities and citizens-- might collectively institutionalize the iterative placemaking methodology.
