What is a street? Is it a living ecosystem, a public space; a social space, an economic space or a combination of these? This book offers a unique look at streets as locations that can evolve to support the economic, social, cultural and natural aspects of cities.
Using modern urban design examples, it challenges readers to focus not only on the liveability and travel benefits of roads, but on how the power of streets can be harnessed. In so doing, it promotes more dynamic spaces for walking, biking and living, and stimulates urban vitality and community regeneration, encouraging them to make changes in their own communities.
