TRAFFIC CALMING IN THE SCHOOL AREA
tactical urbanism
It is a simple and powerful formula of URBAN TRANSFORMATION, which is followed by TOWNS and CITIES worldwide and which allows spaces to be changed through actions with ephemeral and economic elements.
In this way, it is possible to TRANSFORM mere transit or parking SPACES into ZONES OF LIFE and social interaction, creating meeting places for the community and above all designed by and for girls, boys and teenagers, where they are the protagonists.
“Those who have designed, administered and governed them have done so without completing those other dimensions (making one-dimensional cities based on production) and that the definitions of the RAE ignore, and the principle of action has prevailed over their understanding of reality. These cities conceive public space as the space that allows us to get to work from home, without asking if for some the street is synonymous with relationship and encounter and for others it entails exposure and risk”

Color your City
The town or city in which we are working has been turned into a game board, a laboratory of experimentation where girls, boys and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
