CNU 22: Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns

Written by Victor Dover and John Massengale, two accomplished new urban architects and urban designers, the recently-released book Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns is a user-friendly street design manual that explains both how to design new streets and enhance existing ones. It offers step-by-step instruction and shares examples of excellent streets, examining the elements that make them successful as well as how they were designed and created.

In this session, Victor Dover and John Massengale share the catalyst behind writing this comprehensive memoir of streets. Topics also include strategies for shaping space in the public right-of-way through correct building height to street width ratios, terminated vistas, landscaping, and street geometry. These two new urbanists and their resulting accomplishments are valuable resources for urban designers, planners, architects, and engineers.
