Walkable Streets

Andrés Duany & Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk

Suburbs should be designed with walkable streets to enhance community interaction and reduce reliance on cars.

Context

Suburban developments where walking is not the primary mode of transportation.

Problem

Car-oriented suburban designs prioritize vehicular traffic, marginalizing pedestrians and reducing community interaction.

Solution

Design streets that are comfortable and safe for walking by providing wide sidewalks, street trees, and pedestrian amenities.
