Human-Scaled Streets
James Howard Kunstler
Design streets that accommodate people on foot as much as vehicles to foster community and livability.
Context
Suburban and urban developments dominated by car traffic.
Problem
Streets designed primarily for cars neglect pedestrian comfort and safety, isolating individuals within their vehicles and stifling community interaction.
Solution
Ensure streetscapes are designed to support pedestrian pathways with appropriate width, shade, and amenities, making them welcoming for foot traffic.
