plazaPOPS is a community-lead, high impact, and low cost, process to transform parking lots into free and accessible gathering places. Responding to the lack of amenities along Toronto’s inner suburban arterials for pedestrians and TTC riders, plazaPOPS seeks to support and enhance the vibrant communities and businesses that already characterize Toronto’s inner suburbs, suggesting context-sensitive approaches to their densification. plazaPOPS installations become venues for community partners to program with festivals, concerts, art classes, and more!
