Buzeta ‘Caminable’ – Opening Streets for Play and Physical Activity in Cerrillos, Chile
Ciudad Emergente partnered with the Municipality of Cerrillos and the Mayor University to do a pop-up transformation of 7th Avenue into a pedestrian-friendly space, connecting an elementary school serving 350 children with a nearby park, and creating a safer and more playful space.
For decades, the performance of our streets has been measured using metrics that focus on improving safety and throughput for vehicles. But that's finally changing--cities and organizations around the world have developed new metrics and tools to measure streets based on how they perform for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders. These free online tools can help you to build support for people-friendly streets in your city.
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.
