Summary:
Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to
one
key factor: walkability. The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core. But in the typical American
city
, the car is still king, and
downtown
is a place that's easy to drive to but often not worth arriving at. Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick. In this essential new book, Speck reveals the invisible workings of the
city
,
how
simple decisions have cascading effects, and
how
we
can
all make the right choices for our communities. Bursting with sharp observations and real-world examples, giving key insight into what urban planners actually do and
how
places
can
and do change,
Walkable
City
lays out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of
how
to make our normal American cities great again.
