Pop-up parties in public space
"Reclaim the streets" is a slogan and movement that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1990s. The movement advocates for the use of public space for community events, such as street parties, festivals, and other forms of public gathering. The movement seeks to challenge the dominance of cars and other vehicles in urban environments and promote alternative forms of transportation, such as walking, biking, and public transit. The concept of "reclaiming the streets" is rooted in the idea that public space should be used for the benefit of all members of the community, rather than primarily serving the needs of motorists. A "Reclaim the streets" event primarily addresses neighbours but is also open to the broad public. During the day, cars are banned from the streets where now children can play and tables and seats invite for a chat. Cultural activties and food stands often are part of the programme.
