Description
Nearly every US city would like to be more walkable—for reasons of health, wealth, and the environment—yet few are
taking the proper steps to get there. The goals are often clear, but the path is seldom easy. Jeff Speck’s follow up to his
bestselling Walkable City is the resource that cities and citizens need to usher in an era of renewed street life. Walkable City
Rules is a doer’s guide to making change in cities, and making it now.
The 101 rules are practical yet engaging—worded for arguments at the planning commission, illustrated for clarity, and
packed with specifications as well as data. For ease of use, the rules are grouped into 19 chapters that cover everything
from selling walkability, to getting the parking right, escaping automobilism, making comfortable spaces and interesting
places, and doing it now!
Walkable City was written to inspire; Walkable City Rules was written to enable. It is the most comprehensive tool available
for bringing the latest and most effective city-planning practices to bear in your community. The content and presentation
make it a force multiplier for place-makers and change-makers everywhere.
