Tactical Urbanism is a term attributed to urban planner Mike Lydon. Its application occurs often when individuals and the private sector engage a space for community interaction.

In this case, StA LLC proposes a short-term strategy for inviting the public into an urban lot that will in time be re-developed. The proposal celebrates a juxtaposition of the gritty and theatrical with a set of moves involving the following:

planting in selected pavement cracks and fissures; reflective beads embedded in alternate (new) cracks and fissures
new pedestrian crosswalk connecting the site to a central urban artery and sidewalk
added trees with seasonal color appeal along the highest-traffic pedestrian edge
an elevated flat surface as foil to the rugged and sloped existing pavement and which invites visitors to share their talents with an audience
new graffiti and lighting
punctuated vertical planes as partitions and illuminated sculptures which serve as threshold devices in the visitor experience
