Title: Walkable City Rules Pdf 101 Steps to Making Better Places
"Cities are the future of the human race, and Jeff Speck knows how to make them work." (David Owen, staff writer at the New Yorker)
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 best-selling 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.
The 101 rules are practical yet engaging - worded for arguments at the planning commission, illustrated for clarity, and packed with specifications as well as data. For ease of use, the rules are grouped into 19 chapters that cover everything from selling walkability, to getting the parking right, escaping automobilism, making comfortable spaces and interesting places, and doing it now!
Walkable City was written to inspire; Walkable City Rules was written to enable. It is the most comprehensive tool available for bringing the latest and most effective city-planning practices to bear in your community. The content and presentation make it a force multiplier for place-makers and change-makers everywhere.

Wet package = wet book Book came warped in a soaked box. Can’t use it as a gift, as I had intended.great book....the best on walkability Great book by an outstanding authorAn Invaluable Guideline for Urban Design I’ve just ordered another six copies of this book. I’ve now ordered fifteen copies total. I LOVE this book and have bought copies to give to Planning Commissioners, bike / pedestrian / transportation advocates, and local lending libraries. Jeff Speck has created a ‘CliffsNotes’ compilation of wisdom that includes concepts from other urban design / transportation books that I’ve read. This book has great potential to change thinking and help us transform our cities to create truly livable places. The book is very approachable and light hearted. I highly recommend this book!
