Do you know the origin of these practices?
Are there differences between the various names (tactical urbanism, handmade urbanism, self-made urbanism, urban acupuncture, etc.)?
Juan E. Cabrera The history and origin of tactical urbanism are still discussed. What I would advise you to do is to research the practices that preceded what we now call Tactical Urbnism, that might help you. I can recommend readings like this: Chapter Inspirations and Antecedents of Tactical Urbanism
Good luck!
Dear Juan E. Cabrera;
This term was coined by planner Mike Lydon and is based on the same values articulated in the Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper (LQC) approach developed over 40 years ago by Eric Reynolds, Founding Director of Urban Space Management.
The tactical urbanism movement is rapidly spreading, and some cities are collaborating with partners such as Street Plans to launch projects that could benefit from an organized, citizen-led approach. One of them is Jersey City.
Jersey City, the third most densely populated city in the United States after New York and San Francisco, faces pedestrian safety issues. City planners turned to residents for solutions to make streets safer, more beautiful, and more inclusive.
Street Plans collaborated with the city to rapidly iterate a bicycle master plan in support of the city's Vision Zero Initiative, which aims to reduce pedestrian fatalities. Street Plans set up temporary bike lanes as a test in just one weekend, with input from the local community.
Of course, it can be said that it has started since the cities were formed.
