Jeff Speck: Walkable City
How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time
Brought to you by the Urban Design Committee
Around the country and the world, cities are changing themselves to become more welcoming to pedestrians and cyclists. The entertaining and lavishly illustrated talk discusses the General Theory of Walkability - what it takes to get people out of their cars - and then runs through a full range of best practices currently in use to make cities more walkable and bikeable. Specific Do’s and Don’ts will be drawn from Houston.
