“…A similar situation is observed in some European cities in which vacant plots planned for future extensions of infrastructure or services are used for 'pop-up' functions-functions that operate for a short period of time-that sustain the adaptation capacity of the city (Bertino et al 2019). Other derelict spaces defined by motorways and leftover spaces found in parking lots or neighbourhoods are used as public venues (Endres et al 2014, Milián Bernal 2020. It is argued that 'informality provides an opportunity for those excluded from formal processes to find presence in the city' (Wall 2011: 155) and, thus, reinforce the social resilience of organised (and eventually subversive) groups.…”

Drawing upon a range of writing on suburbanisation and urban sprawl, this paper outlines an approach to the analysis of interstitial spaces of urban sprawl. Such spaces are the outlying geography of metropolitan regions existing in-between developed or urbanised areas. As such, they constitute an eclectic mix of open spaces, natural areas, obsolete infrastructures, geographical restrictions, farming land, etc, that alternatively contribute to the city�s environmental and functional performance. Despite being identified in the literature, there has been little recognition of interstitial spaces as part of the environmental sustainability of urban systems, and how they support cities in improving their resilience and adaptation capacities. Using the case of Santiago de Chile, this paper highlights an environmental approach to studying the interstices and the need to examine such spaces at different scales linked to their respective environmental potentials.

“…The number of PD spots grew rapidly into a global event on six continents and thirty-five countries [20] (Figure 2). PD is one day a year, but the images, videos, website, articles and other forms of documentation enable constant dissemination and the 'virality' of the idea [21]. A small-scale, temporary event, an ad-hoc action in public space can spark a change leading to permanent solutions.…”

“…The playfulness makes it seem absurd-a public park in a metered parking space is a surrealistic interruption in the fabric of everyday urban life. It is a prototype, a temporary alternate vision of urban space with a very strong and clear message that, despite rapid growth and diversification, remains consistent due to the act of reimagining and reconstructing physical parking spaces [21].…”

“…International Park(ing) Day is held each year on the third Friday of September each year, uncoincidentally often overlapping with 22 September the set date for World Car-Free Day and European Mobility Week (EMW). Rebar's Park(ing) Day Manual (2011) claimed "that 'permanent change' can be a result of Park(ing) Day efforts" [21]. Change did take place as Park(ing) Day raised awareness about the need for and use of public space in San Francisco and prompted the San Francisco Planning Department (SFPD) to develop the 'Pavement to Parks' program [19].…”

From Tactical Urbanism Action to Institutionalised Urban Planning and Educational Tool: The Evolution of Park(ing) Day

A singular and modest activist action, a temporary park created in San Francisco, grew into the global urban Park(ing) Day (PD) phenomenon. This tactical urbanism event not only expanded to be annually celebrated in thousands of parking lots all over the world but became an inspiration for urban planning and policy changes. The permanent rendition of Park(ing) Day, parklets, resulted from the movement but did not stop the spread of PD itself. This article presents case studies from New Zealand and Poland, two geographically and culturally distant locations where PD has further developed and evolved gaining local qualities. Through research methods such as research in design, secondary data analysis and expert interviews we study the trajectory of PD evolution and the role and interpretation of it in different parts of the globe. The results show a narrative of successive popularisation and institutionalisation as well as diversification. Departing from its grassroots, guerilla and assertive traits, PD has grown to become an artistic, creative and urban planning tool. As an established, recognised action and an ‘attractive’ idea, PD has great potential for designer education, allowing a venue for implementing methods such as design-build and live project.

This special issue examines intersections between qualitative and rhetorical inquiry through (re)introducing rhetorical fieldwork. We define rhetorical fieldwork as a set of approaches that integrate rhetorical and qualitative inquiry toward the examination of in situ practices and performances in a rhetorical field. This set of approaches falls within the participatory turn in rhetorical studies, in which rhetorical scholars increasingly turn to fieldwork, interviews, and other forms of participatory research to augment conventional methodological practices. The special issue highlights four original articles that employ, exemplify, and reflect on the value of rhetorical fieldwork as a form of critical/cultural inquiry. In this introduction, we not only introduce the key themes and articles in the special issue but also compile our take on the state of the art of rhetorical fieldwork in an effort to introduce this form of research practice to those who have not encountered it before.
