"The best streets in the world's villages, towns, and
cities--whether modest or grand--continually remind one
that simplicity is part of the recipe for success in this art. The
advice of Victor Dover and John Massengale, their historic examples
and their own designs, reflect that simplicity."
--From the Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales
"Street Design is a lucid, practical and
altogether indispensable guide for envisioning and
creating vibrant 21st century towns and cities. It should be
required reading for every local political leader, planner,
architect, real estate developer and engaged urban citizen in
America."
--Kurt Andersen, host of Studio
360 and author of True
Believers
"We are going to start walking around the places we live again,
and as that occurs and becomes normal, we will rapidly redevelop a
demand for higher quality in building at the human scale."
--From the Afterword by James Howard Kunstler
"Your charrette traveling library must include the
important Street Design book by Victor Dover and John
Massengale."--Bill Lennertz, Executive
Director, National Charrette Institute
"What an amazing resource! For those who wish that
my book, Walkable City, had pictures, this is the book for
you. If either your work or your play includes the making of
places, you will find Street Design to be an invaluable
tool." --Jeff Speck, AICP, CNU-A, LEED-AP,
Hon. ASLA
Written by two accomplished architects and urban designers, this
user-friendly street design manual shows both how to design new
streets and enhance existing ones. It offers step-by-step
instruction and shares examples of excellent streets, examining the
elements that make them successful as well as how they were
designed and created. Topics also include strategies for shaping
space in the public right-of-way through correct building height to
street width ratios, terminated vistas, landscaping, and street
geometry. This book is a valuable resource for urban designers,
planners, architects, and engineers.
With guest essays from: Kaid Benfield, David Brussat, Javier
Cenicacelaya, Hank Dittmar, Andres Duany, Douglas Duany, Emily
Glavey, Chip Kaufman, Ethan Kent, Marieanne Khoury-Vogt, Léon
Krier, Gianni Longo, Thomas Low, Laura Lyon, Chuck Marohn, Paul
Murrain, John Norquist, Stefanos Polyzoides, Gabriele Tagliaventi
and Erik Vogt.
