Architecture & Planning - New York, New York, United States
City building, urban innovations, and funding tend to come from government agencies and private developers over long time periods. The tactical urbanism movement has brought attention to the need and ability for residents to reclaim public space in order to solve local challenges. Barriers preventing residents from improving the public realm have historically included access to funding, design and hardware procurement, navigation of the legal and regulatory environment, and long-term ownership solutions. PorchLights' platform enables planners, organizers, residents and local business owners to enhance their neighborhoods using urban project kits. Bundled project kits have included parklets, porch concerts, community gardens, bike hubs, and others, including options to design custom kits that solve specific challenges.
