Description
Streets Reconsidered is a fundamental rethinking of America's streets. It explores the future of streets and what America's roadways could be if they were designed for living, instead of just driving. The book includes:
- Detailed design guidelines,
- Fully illustrated, four-colour case studies of successful streets from around the world,
- A new paradigm of streets designed to promote human functions, turning new design ideas into a series of best practices that can be applied to any community.
What would streets look like if they accommodated people of all ages and abilities, promoted healthy urban living, social interaction and business, the movement of people and goods, and regeneration of the environment? Streets Reconsidered pushes beyond the current standards, focusing on the planning, design and construction of streets as a method for improving our built environment for everyone.
The book is organized by the functions of a street: mobility, wayfinding, commerce, social gathering, events and programming, play and recreation, urban agriculture, green infrastructure, and image and identity.
Streets Reconsidered is the essential resource for city planners, urban designers, developers, architects, landscape architects, policymakers, and community members who share a passion for great urban, human spaces.
