Abstract

This article explores the application of innovation–diffusion theory to tactical urbanism projects. The objective of the study is to comprehend how innovation–diffusion theory can be utilized to analyze and evaluate these projects and identify the factors contributing to their success. The research was conducted through a collaborative design studio experience, using qualitative methods that largely depended on participatory observations and interviews with key participants. The findings indicate that the Innovation–Diffusion theory can serve as a comprehensive theoretical framework for the analysis and evaluation of tactical urbanism projects. The study also identified factors that contribute to the success of these projects, such as the involvement of opinion leaders, the use of low-cost and temporary interventions, and the flexibility to adapt to on-site variables.
