The Pop-Up Placemaking Tool Kit

Seeing potential solutions is more effective than simply reading, hearing or talking about them. 

The Pop-Up Placemaking Tool Kit by AARP and the urban planning firm Team Better Block can help elected officials, planners, policymakers and involved residents use temporary projects to improve communities for people of all ages. 

The publication, which includes placemaking "recipes" from Team Better Block, is a practical guide to demonstrating and implementing positive change.
