New Urbanism ep 12: Pavement to Parks
The city of San Francisco and architecture collective, Rebar, transform a dangerous intersection in the Portero neighborhood into a temporary public park.

These spaces become urban laboratories where the City can work with the community to test the potential of the selected location to be permanently reclaimed as public open space.
