The second in the Common Ground webinar series, this webinar will be exploring how pop‑up parks, parklets, and temporary re‑greening initiatives are reshaping urban life—boosting wellbeing, strengthening social cohesion, and encouraging more active travel.

This session will dive into why these approaches matter now, as post‑COVID recovery and urban regeneration spark renewed interest in tactical urbanism and the power of lighter, quicker, cheaper transformations.

Speakers from the UK, Ireland, and across Europe will unpack policy, research, and on‑the‑ground practice, highlighting the role of participatory design, testing interventions, inclusivity, and community resilience in shaping more adaptable, people‑centred public spaces.
