Xiuming, check this out: https://www.facebook.com/NammaChennaiNamakke/ This beach is near my dad's house in Chennai. Every Sunday it becomes an event /exercise/ music area. 'Namma Chennai Namakke' means 'our Chennai is for us'. I been to one of them and I might land up this Sunday!
Hello, Peer! It seems like most activities out held at Namma Chennai Namakke requires only basic equipment, such as yoga mats, and signboards. The temporarily reappropriated roads like this one have to stay unaltered physically because of its original purpose. The temporary features that can be disassembled and reassembled by event owners (to be handle-able easily by one person for the best effect). The event owners should have a choice to own components or the full set and added on components, the owner of the yoga event can purchase the basic kit to assemble just a signboard holder, and maybe purchase an additional space marker to demarcate the yoga space he needs. An owner of the remote control car race can own a magic box which can be assembled into life-size terrains. Just wildly imagining.
