Why Parklets? 3 Reasons Cities are going all in
In cities both large and small, parklets are increasing in popularity as a way to repurpose streets, parking areas, and public spaces for people. Starting in the early 2000’s in California and slowly making their way across North America, parklets are popping up everywhere.
What Are Parklets?
In short, parklets are distinctly designed, modular spaces set up in public areas. Safe and convenient, they’re also an attractive way to solve practical urban problems.
Parklets are public seating platforms that convert curbside parking spaces into vibrant community spaces. Also known as street seats or curbside seating, parklets are the product of a partnership between the city and local businesses, residents, or neighborhood associations. (NACTO)
Most parklets have distinctive designs; and because they are entirely customizable, they can be perfectly appointed to meet the needs of whatever space they inhabit.
- Size and shape
- Seating
- Greenery
- Bike racks
All these and more are options that make parklets popular, particularly in downtown areas.

People attract people. Those who make use of the parklets draw the eye and attention of passersby, who are then likewise prompted to stop, gather, and commune.
