| Abstract | In the face of lockdowns promulgated in response to COVID-19, the effects on local planning are diverse. One of the effects is planners’ use of tactical urbanism in their efforts to improve public health. Tactical urbanism is characterized as temporary, and it is appropriate to ask whether tactical strategies help keep communities healthy in times of pandemic. We address that question by examining several examples of a tactical program called Slow Streets. This program provides temporary public spaces in the streets for exercise and interaction. We review literature to understand the relevance of the program to tactical urbanism, and we investigate how successful it has been. Survey questionnaires complement the research. The study outcomes suggest that the pandemic forced planners to act swiftly, but the Slow Streets program was limited in improving the health of the underserved population because it lacks comprehensive community engagement and alignment with longer term plans. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
