Tactical urbanism, also commonly referred to as guerrilla urbanism, pop-up urbanism, city repair, D.I.Y. urbanism,[1] planning-by-doing, urban acupuncture, and urban prototyping,[2] is a low-cost, temporary change to the built environment, usually in cities, intended to improve local neighbourhoods and city gathering places.[3]
Tactical urbanism is often citizen-led but can also be initiated by government entities. Community-led temporary installations are often intended to pressure government agencies into installing a more permanent or expensive version of the improvement.[4]
