Description

Join us for an enlightening discussion with Victor Dover, co-author of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns. In this episode of ON CITIES, we explore critical elements lacking in modern streets, the concept of 'place' and its importance in street design, and the key design elements of great streets. Dover uncovers common misconceptions guiding the work of traffic engineers and highlights overlooked details that can greatly impact street design. From the power of street trees to retrofitting urban environments, Dover offers invaluable insights and shares success stories of transforming blighted areas into vibrant, inviting spaces that people want to be in.
