Parklets

The San Franciso Planning Department came up with the concept of parklets, a smallscale urban intervention in the form of a small public space in a parking space (or two). According to them, a parklet repurposes part of the street into a space for people. They are intended as aesthetic enhancements to the streetscape, providing an economical solution to the need for increased public
open space.

They have created many successful parklets in San Francisco and they have also begun to pop up in other cities, such as vancouver. They're a really great project that has many links to foodtrucks as both are small additions to the city made by reclaiming parking spaces.

The presence of Families in this Parklet is great, the best public spaces bring people from all walks of life together

Great integration of planters

Great use of materials, each park has a lot of unique character
