“It is essential to adapt tactical urbanism to the size & characteristics of each territory.”
For this second issue of the articles on tactical urbanism, L’Institut Paris Region looks back at an interview conducted on 9 September 2020 with Mike Lydon, co-founder of Street Plans, an urban planning and public space design agency based in Miami and New York.
Nomad Piazza, located along two blocks of Broadway in Midtown Manhattan, was implemented to support local restaurants, pedestrians, and cyclists during the pandemic. In the fall of 2021 the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership worked with Street Plans to improve the piazza with asphalt art and other amenities, like public seating and planters.
