Tactical Urbanism Salon

A SALON on OCTOBER 15, 2011. During the CONGRESS OF COLLECTIVES. In LONG ISLAND CITY, NYC at Flux Factory (map). The Tactical Urbanism Salon is an event presenting international tactical urbanism projects. Presentations at the salon will demonstrate how short term action can lead to long term change in our cities. Information will be shared about a range of urban interventions that apply creativity, sustainability, technology, and social good. In conjunction with the salon, a public space intervention will be carried out in the streets of Long Island City, Queens. The new edition of the Tactical Urbanism report (Vol. 2) will also be released at the event. The salon is organized by The Street Plans Collaborative, and DoTank:Brooklyn. It is part of the Congress of the Collectives, which is an interlocking series of events intended to unite art collectives, collectivized spaces, and audiences, so that we may discuss, connect, and collaborate with each other. http://tacticalurbanismsalon.com/
