With the intention to reclaim the streets, hundreds of guerrilla art installations will be created in parking bays around the globe. Anything planned in Berlin? tags: - Public Art - Art Installation - Urban Planning - Parking Day title: 'Reclaim the Streets - Parking Day 2011' url: https://www.urbanartcore.com/reclaim-the-streets-parking-day-2011/ --- # Reclaim the Streets - Parking Day 2011 *Park(ing) Day* is an annual, worldwide event that invites citizens everywhere to transform metered parking spots into temporary parks for the public good. This year’s *Parking Day* will take place - as I just read on [Urbanshit](http://urbanshit.de/?p=6288) - tomorrow, September 16th! That means, that you all have to take your camp-chairs, some turf, and probably some barbecue equipment to reclaim the streets and public space by reusing parking bays... > Since 2005, *Park(ing) Day* has grown rapidly. The 2010 event included more than 800 Park installations in more than 180 cities on six continents. From Iran to Madagascar, Venezuela to South Korea, the project continues to expand to urban centers across the globe, and participants have broadened the scope of PARK installations to fulfill a range of unmet social needs.

And please let me know if you are planning some Parking Day 2011 action in the streets of Berlin! ![parking day 2011]() parking day 2011 Photo via Park(ing) Day press kit.
