PARK(ing) Day is an annual open-source global event where  citizens, artists and designers collaborate temporarily to transform metered parking spaces into living parks. The project began in  2005 when Rebar, a San Francisco art and design studio, converted a single parking space into a temporary public park in downtown  San Francisco. Since 2005, PARK(ing) Day has evolved into a global movement, with organisations and individuals (operating  independently of Rebar, but following an established set of guidelines) creating new forms of temporary public space in urban  contexts around the world. The mission of PARK(ing) Day is to call attention to the need for  more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how  public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of the urban human habitat ... at least until the meter runs out!

We are looking for temporary installations that are  creative, innovative and engaging. They should be  vibrant and accessible; enliven our cityscape for one day; provoke reflection about how we use public space; and encourage interaction and engagement.
