PARKLET 2 GO
PARKLET 2 GO
- Systemic changes
The PARKLET 2 GO is a pedal-powered, mobile toolkit to quickly, informally and effectively create a temporary parklet. It transforms parking spaces into places to meet, hang out and host a spontaneous public discourse about how we use space in our cities.
This mobile urban furniture ensemble is adaptable to various public spaces: Car-only parking lots or underused urban plazas alike. Its modular design features two large benches that seat up to eight people, two parasols, a table, four small barrier elements, three flower beds and one plant container as habitat for a resilient city tree. The PARKLET 2 GO can be swiftly loaded onto a bicycle trailer for a zerocarbon and flexible transport across the cityscape. The PARKLET 2 GO is a tool for engaged urban practitioners to make alternative designs of urban public space tangible. The idea is to further evolve the PARKLET 2 GO so that hands-on urbanists can proactively initiate awareness changes amongst the population and decision-makers.
