“La falta de recursos ya no es una excusa para no actuar. La idea de que las acciones sólo deben tomarse después que se han encontrado todas las respuestas y todos los recursos, es una receta segura para la parálisis. La planificación de una ciudad es un proceso que permite correcciones; es sumamente arrogante creer que la planificación se puede hacer sólo después que todas las variables posibles han sido controladas .”
– Jaime Lerner. Arquitecto, urbanista, ex alcalde de Curitiba, Brasil

Qué es Tactical Urbanism?
Tal y como está definido, el concepto de “urbanismo táctico” corresponde a un enfoque intencionado sobre la planificación urbana que muestra las siguientes cinco características:
- Ser un enfoque intencionado y progresivo para promover el cambio;
- Ofrece ideas locales para desafios en la planificación local;
- Compromiso a corto plazo y expectativas realistas;
- Bajo riesgo, con una posible gran recompensa; y
- Desarrollo de capital social entre ciudadanos y construc- ción de capacidad organizacional entre instituciones públicas/ privadas, ONGs y sociedad civil.
Probablemente ya conozcas bastantes ejemplos de Tactical Urbanism, pero aquí hay varios ejemplos: Park(ing) Day, Mobile Vendors, Guerilla Gardening, Chair Bombing, ad – Busting… Muchos de los cuales han sido mostrados en Spontaneous Interventions en el Pabellón de USA de la 13th International Architecture Exhibition Common Ground de la Biennale de Venezia.

“The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled.”
– Jaime Lerner Architect, urbanist, former mayor of Curitiba, Brazil

What is tactical urbanism?
As it defined, Tactical urbanism is a deliberate approach to citymaking that features the following five characteristics:
- A deliberate, phased approach to instigating change;
- An offering of local ideas for local planning challenges;
- Short-term commitment and realistic expectations
- Low-risks, with a possibly a high reward; and
- The development of social capital between citizens and the building of organizational capacity between public/private institutions, non-profit/NGOs, and their constituents.
You’ll probably know a lot of tactical urbanism, but here there are a few samples: Park(ing) Day, Mobile Vendors, Guerilla Gardening, Chair Bombing, ad – Busting… many ot them have been showed on Spontaneous Interventionsat the USA Pavillion in the 13th International Architecture Exhibition Common Ground of la Biennale de Venezia.
