Students Implement Tactical Urbanism Demonstrations in Blanchard

Seventeen students in the Environmental Design Practicum course implemented tactical urbanism demonstrations of downtown improvements in Blanchard, as part of a partnership between the City of Blanchard, Oklahoma Municipal League, and Institute for Quality Communities. The students spent several weeks interviewing city leaders and stakeholders, devising projects, and building and testing the results. The Oklahoma Municipal League featured a video about this project on its YouTube channel.
