“Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time” by Jeff Speck

CT.org…Walkability of cities is an important element of every city’s plans for livability, transportation, recreation and neighborhoods. Walter Kulash and Dan Burden have done seminal work on walkability for decades. Walkable City Rules is an important addition to the movement and a stimulus for continued action. 

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.
