ADVOCATING AND ACTIVISM IN THE COMMUNITY...
TURBO employs tactical urbanism methods, which involve small, temporary changes to the built environment aimed at fostering permanent citywide improvements. While primarily initiated by citizens to bypass bureaucracy, some city governments, like New York City, also use these methods to test new public space projects.
East Greenway Park is Nashville’s first health and wellness cottage community connected to the city’s greatest assets: Shelby Bottoms Park and Music City Bikeway. With a 41% tree save, sidewalks throughout, community gardens, fire pits and seating, outdoor gym on the fitness trail, park-style grills, picnic tables, dog park, and access to the greenway, the neighborhood makes it easy to stay active and connected to nature.
