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.
