May 18-19 at NW 7th & Hudson, presented by ULI Oklahoma. An event
demonstrating how to improve an area through temporary infrastructure, culture,
pop-up business & street life.

Better Block OKC, presented by ULI Oklahoma, is a community revitalization
project that temporarily demonstrates how to improve a street with pedestrian
and public infrastructure mixed with art, culture, pop-up businesses and street
life.

Though comprehensive planning projects are often necessary for developments,
the cost, scale, and long-range timelines associated with these initiatives can
oft...en lead to a loss in project momentum. Instead, Better Block OKC aims to
create quick, inexpensive, high-impact changes that exhibit permanent solutions
for areas in OKC.

The first Better Block OKC project launches May 18th at NW 7th &
Hudson.
