Last week SHADE Institute presented design thinking efforts to Bikeshare Hawaii on placemaking strategies. The fellows presented strategies for the organization to engage with the community to embrace the expansion of the Biki Stations through parklet designs and event planning opportunities.

PRESENTATION

The Localist Revolution

“Localism is the belief that power should be wielded as much as possible at the neighborhood, city and state levels. Localism is thriving — as a philosophy and a way of doing things — because the national government is dysfunctional while many towns are reviving. Politicians in Washington are miserable, hurling ideological abstractions at one another, but mayors and governors are fulfilled, producing tangible results.”
