04. Site Management - Streetscape Events

Support community events and programming throughout streetscapes

Rationale: Planning and hosting regular community events in public spaces increases pedestrian activity, enhances perceptions of neighborhood safety, and promotes community engagement — contributing to decreased risk of chronic mental and physical conditions such as depression and cardiovascular disease.
