Street experiments are a disruptive tool for change. Beyond aesthetic purposes, they enable the vision of a possible better future, with a new and fairer redistribution of space. Street experiments not only transform the perception and planning of mobility and public space, but also make it possible to test alternative designs and functions in a specific spatial context.
This achieves a greater commitment and conviction of citizens and shows the ease with which change can be achieved.
Furthermore, street experiments challenge traditional city planning. They show that a more inclusive design, with the participation of citizens and different actors, ends up being more functional and having more impact.
