Overview

Livable Streets 2.0 offers a thorough examination of the struggle between automobiles, residents, pedestrians and other users of streets, along with evidence-based, practical strategies for redesigning city street networks that support urban livability. In 1981, when Donald Appleyard’s Livable Streets was published, it was globally recognized as a groundbreaking work, one of the most influential urban design books of its time. Unfortunately, he was killed a year later by a speeding drunk driver. This latest update, Livable Streets 2.0, revisited by his son Bruce, updates the topic with the latest research, new case studies, and best human-centered practices for creating more livable streets for all. It is essential reading for those who influence future directions in city and transportation planning, urban design, and community regeneration, and placemaking.

Reviews

"""For planners and architects, engineers, politicians, and community workers, it is worth having this book as a reference and a stark, evidence-filled reminder of the incompatibility of people, cars, and livable streets. The book documents many efforts from around the world and includes stories of incredible persistence and talent, engaged in reimagining streets for people. Those examples, ideas and case studies together make the book a valuable resource and an inspiration to do more."" --Journal of Urban Affairs, Frank Palermo"
