In this webinar, Skye Duncan, Director of Global Designing Cities Initiative, spoke about lessons learned from GDCI interim interventions including how to engage local communities and move from project to program. Michael Lydon, Principal of Street Plans Collaborative, shared his experience on the role of tactical urbanism in gathering public support for urban projects.
