Abstract
EMPORARY STREET TRANSFORMATION AS AN INTERVENTION FOR MORE PEOPLE FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS IN CITIES. A CONTRIBUTION WITHIN THE FRAME OF TACTICAL URBANISM
Highlights
In urban areas - influenced not least by population growth and urbanization processes - various challenges are becoming increasingly apparent
The cargo bikebased tool tested in the Pop-up Piazza project is suitable for transforming a car parking lot and transforming the space so that it can be used by more people
The StreetFormator tends to be in the background when used in a closed street but can complement it well when it “brings” useful add-ons
