We are delighted to celebrate the launch of How Good Are Parklets? by RMIT Professor in the School of Architecture and Urban Design, Quentin Stevens.

Parklets are innovative, dynamic public spaces that are installed onto on-street car-parking spots. These very small spaces have had a very large and lasting impact on city streets. How Good Are Parklets? is the first book to critically examine the parklet's purposes, formats and impacts. Drawing together archival research, expert interviews, typological analysis, mapping, field observation and design research, this book examines parklets' design, production and implementation across varying urban contexts.

Free, but bookings are essential.
