Cities are increasingly testing out new projects in a temporary and iterative way as a part of their implementation strategies. How can we leverage this lightweight "prototyping" approach to engage residents in a meaningful way, as well as to inform long-term investments in the development of our cities? Learn how new forms of participation are using design and the arts to help shape our cities, including Oakland, and where we go from here.
