How to apply tactical urbanism to urban design. What is tactical urbanism?
Kaidi Põldoja is Executive Manager of Spatial Planning and Design for the City of Tallinn. In this episode we find out Tallinn's approach to urban planning through the application of tactical urbanism and how to use modularity as a means to quickly move to full scale prototypes to determine what people actually want in their urban environment. We also discuss the commonalities of Estonia and Ukraine in regards to a legacy of monolithic grey apartment blocks, that affect how our urban space works

What needs to change in order to scale up modular construction in Ukraine
The European Design Upgrade 3.0 is an international project about rethinking modular housing. We aim to create efficient and affordable solutions for people who lost their homes due to war, natural disasters, or other hardships. The EDU 3.0 program introduces design thinking to the construction process. We bring together all stakeholders, to change the way you think about building, from sketch to construction to deconstruction. The topic is modular. Not because it is better, but because it is faster. The reconstruction of Ukraine will need to happen in stages, and putting up pre-fabricated, factory-assembled modular buildings will meet the needs of people quicker.
