About
In the contemporary world, where cities are constantly growing and developing, it is crucial to focus on creating environments that are inclusive and sustainable for all their inhabitants. Tactical urbanism represents an innovative approach to the rapid and effective transformation of public spaces with the aim of creating cities accessible to all residents regardless of their age, gender, abilities, or social status. It has thus become an important tool for the swift and flexible transformation of public spaces to create barrier-free cities. How can tactical urbanism contribute to the inclusive and sustainable development of cities and help overcome the limitations that urban residents face?
