In the spring of 2009 , a team of PSU Urban & Regional Planning graduate students, worked with the Central Eastside Industrial Council to investigate the potential to enliven the Central Eastside Industrial District by activating vacant spaces with temporary activities & developments.
Through a precedent study, interviews, conversations, focus groups, and regulatory and land use analysis, LocusLab sought to understand…
- why temporary use is important,
- how temporary projects can benefit the spaces and neighborhoods they occupy,
- how they come into being, and
- what barriers prevent the occurrence of temporary uses and how they can be overcome.
