Incremental Urbanism

Incremental Urbanism is a planning approach that promotes gradual, small-scale improvements to cities over time, rather than large, disruptive projects. It focuses on making local changes—like adding parks, improving sidewalks, or updating building facades—that adapt to community needs and resources. This method allows cities to evolve sustainably, test ideas incrementally, and involve residents in the process. By building step-by-step, neighborhoods become more livable, resilient, and responsive, creating healthier urban environments without the upheaval of major redevelopment projects.
