Urban Acupuncture

Urban acupuncture is a concept where small, strategic interventions are made in city environments—such as adding parks, artworks, or improved walkways—to positively influence the larger urban system. Inspired by traditional acupuncture, which targets specific points to promote overall health, urban acupuncture focuses on pinpointed changes that can rejuvenate neighborhoods, enhance community well-being, and foster social and environmental benefits. These small-scale projects aim to create ripple effects, encouraging more extensive development and improved quality of life without the need for massive, disruptive overhauls.
