Council invites tactical urbanism and SCAD demonstration to March workshop
Summary
A councilmember proposed a brief 'tactical urbanism' presentation and possible partnership with SCAD; council and staff tentatively agreed to schedule a 15-minute presentation at a March workshop to explore student or architect-led ideas for White Hardy Boulevard and other public-space projects.
A councilmember raised the concept of tactical urbanism and suggested inviting an architect (and potentially students from the Savannah College of Art and Design) to deliver a short demonstration or presentation for council. The member said SCAD students have helped nearby communities with low-cost public-space improvements and suggested a 10–15 minute slot at the March workshop.
Staff and other council members supported scheduling the short presentation as a workshop item; the city manager said he would help coordinate contacts and tentatively plan a 15‑minute presentation at the March date if scheduling permits.
Why it matters: tactical urbanism demonstrations can provide low‑cost ideas and student partnerships for small-scale streetscape and placemaking projects, such as the council’s White Hardy Boulevard priority.
Next steps: staff will coordinate with the councilmember and potential presenters to confirm availability for a March workshop slot.
