Abstract

In terms of the public realm, no element is more important than streets. This is where active travel to work, shop, eat out, and engage in other daily activities takes place, and where walking for exercise mostly occurs. Parks, plazas, trails, and other public places also have an important role in physical activity, but given the critical role and ubiquity of streets, this book focuses on the qualities that make one street more inviting and walkable than another. Think of your last trip to a great European city and what, other than the historic structures and the food, was memorable. You walked its streets for hours and did not tire. It is the magic of a great street environment.
