This document discusses "rightsizing streets", also known as "road diets", which involves reallocating street space from vehicles to other uses like walking, biking, and public spaces. It provides examples of road diet projects that reduced crashes and injuries while increasing active transportation and public life. The document advocates for a place-based approach to street design that considers the surrounding community rather than just traffic volumes. Road diets can make streets safer for multiple users and better environments for social and economic activity.

This document discusses "rightsizing streets", also known as "road diets", which involves reallocating street space from vehicles to other uses like walking, biking, and public space. It provides examples of road diet projects that reduced crashes and injuries while increasing active transportation and public life. These case studies demonstrate that rightsizing streets can sometimes make roads safer with less car space, carry more people more efficiently, and slow speeds while shortening travel times by better utilizing underused car capacity. The document advocates for an approach that considers streets as public places in addition to mobility corridors in order to accommodate all users.

City walk

This document discusses the characteristics and benefits of walkable cities. It defines a walkable city as one where residents can access destinations using public transit or by walking. The key features of walkable communities include having destinations within walking or biking distance, sidewalks and crossings that make walking safe, and a mix of businesses and homes. Benefits include more active and healthier residents, transportation choices, and a safer environment for walking and biking. Specific strategies to create walkable cities include redevelopment agencies, developing a multifunctional downtown, making the downtown more pedestrian-friendly, preserving historical structures, waterfront development, office development, and improving mass transportation and alternative transit options like walking and biking.

Jan Gehl. Liveable Cities for the 21st Century

Юлия Егорова

This document discusses people-oriented city planning strategies proposed by Jan Gehl, an urban design professor. Over decades of research, Gehl has advocated for prioritizing public spaces and public life in cities. His work shows that cities that focus on pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation over private vehicles create livelier, more attractive, and sustainable urban environments where people are more active and social. Examples of "reconquered cities" like Copenhagen demonstrate how urban design changes have successfully shifted priorities from cars to people.

The document discusses the Better Block project in Denver which aims to temporarily transform public spaces to demonstrate how pedestrian infrastructure, art, culture and businesses can improve areas. It does this through low-cost demonstrations using pop-up shops, street furniture and activities for one day. The goal is to inspire permanent changes. It also highlights the positive impacts of a previous Better Block project in Dallas, noting how it led to a coffee shop opening, more local shopping, and renovations that increased property values and community use of public spaces.
