Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time
by Jeff Speck
Description
Urban planner Jeff Speck makes the case that walkability is one of the most powerful—and achievable—ways to strengthen American cities. Examining the forces that shape streets, neighborhoods, transportation, and downtown life, he reveals how car-centered decisions can undermine economic vitality, public health, and community connection. Drawing on urban-planning principles, practical strategies, and examples from cities across the country, the book explains how modest changes can produce far-reaching benefits. Clear, persuasive, and accessible, it offers a hopeful blueprint for creating more vibrant, sustainable, and people-centered places.
