Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Ten youth-led creative community engagement and public design processes are brought to underserved members of the community. Each Tactical Urbanism event will be documented through photographs, participant writing and art. 2: Underserved residents from communities will feel deeper connection to and interest in participating in decisions that affect the social and environmental design of their communities. Written, verbal and arts-based data collection from participants will indicate shift in attitude towards urban design, design processes and arts-based community initiatives.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Twenty-one youth-led creative community engagement processes were brought to members of the community. Photo documentation, surveys, interviews and listening sessions.
