dc.description.abstractSkateboarding is a global phenomenon that makes alternative use of the urban built form but is often met with opposition from the public and governing authorities. In Calgary, the skateboarding community has formed representative organizations that have collaborated with Council and Administration to address issues surrounding skateboarding. This research examines the process of the development of skateboarding amenities in Calgary and how the perspective of the sport changed from a degenerative activity to a healthy lifestyle choice. Collaborative planning and tactical urbanism provide the framework for the analysis. This research finds that the skateboarding community organizations and the City of Calgary have exercised a combination of collaborative planning and tactical urbanism to increase institutional capacity and positively change both the social and physical landscape of the city. The research concludes that communities need representation to effectively communicate with local government, formal and informal relationships between community and government strengthen process and results, and, once an objective has been identified, short-term action can provide a temporary solution during a period of planning for a long-term permanent solution.en_US
