New year, new theme, same mission.
We want to show people that some parking stalls are better served for people and the environment rather than a car. This temporary (pop-up) installation of a created “place” or “garden” offers a creative solution to mitigating the Urban Heat Island effect, lack of public space, and fostering the native flora and fauna on a small, parking stall-sized space.
Theme: Therapeutic Spaces and Native Plants
We are looking for materials to use for the day or keep!
Material list:
Leftover artificial turf or alternative outdoor-rated colorful flooring
Plants
Planters
Lightweight site furnishings
Outdoor games (cornhole, etc.)
There is more to the story….and it is gaining traction.
There is something called Parking Reform. It is a source of information and legislation for anyone interested in advocating for reducing the oversupply of parking stalls.
There are other ways to take over a space and make it people-friendly, with the help of a CNC machine!
