#FOREWORDFRIDAY: PARK(ing) DAY EDITION

By Katharine Sucher / On September 17th, 2015
In honor of PARK(ing) Day, Island Press is taking tactical urbanism to the streets. PARK(ing) Day is an annual event where people all over the world transform metered parking spots into temporary public parks. These pop-up parks can take all forms--in our case, an outdoor library and reading nook. To learn more about short-tern, low-cost, and scalable interventions like these, check out Tactical Urbanism by Mike Lydon and Anthony Garcia.

This urban rain garden two blocks from the Island Press office doesn't just help the city manage rainwater, it's also educates urbanites about rain, serves as wildlife habitat and is a lovely place to enjoy a frozen yogurt afternoon snack.
