How popup parks "revitalize his neighborhood by finding an unloved space, breaking some rules, and building a park. One weekend on a deserted avenue, the group put up a pop-up coffee shop, turned a vacant garage into a kids’ art studio, and filled the street with flower markets and potted trees. The result? The pop-up park became a self-fulfilling prophecy as people started returning to that neighborhood, filling in the vacant spots with more permanent visions of the weekend-long pop-up park. A forgotten neighborhood finally turned into a space with real potential."

"Public spaces are an important asset to our cities. They provide people many opportunities to come together and engage with the community. If public spaces are successful they are inclusive of the diversity of groups present in our cities and create a social space for everyone in the society to participate in."

"Green deficit - As part of developing a broad plan for downtown development, city staff have been looking at population growth and at how land is currently being used. Among staff conclusions: there is a deficit of downtown parkland, and in particular, of larger parks.
According to their research, there are 121 parks in the area that total about six per cent of the land, but almost three-quarters of those parks are small (defined as less than 0.5 hectares) and "typically considered to be parkettes."
