Quezon City’s Tactical Urbanism Transforms a Street into a People-Centered Active Mobility Hub

Summary

Quezon City faces challenges from car-centric urban design, which crowds sidewalks, discourages active mobility, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. As part of the SPARK Project, the city implemented a "tactical urbanism intervention" on Maginhawa Street, transforming it into a people-centered active mobility hub with shared paths and social spaces. The reimagined street officially opened in December 2024, with the intervention serving as a pilot until February 2025 to gather data for long-term policy recommendations and potential replication.
