Tactical Urbanism for Downtown Revitalization: City of Grand Prairie, Texas
Abstract
Efforts to revitalize downtown continue to gain momentum as planners, developers, and city leaders focus on creating vibrant downtowns to meet the demand for walkable urbanism. Some cities find they lack the resources to implement downtown area plans. Tactical urbanism is an alternative approach to city-building that could be used in these instances. This report will explore downtown revitalization and tactical urbanism using the City of Grand Prairie, Texas, as a case study. This report will create a plan using tactical urbanism to revitalize downtown Grand Prairie.
