Jeff Speck has spent his career determining what makes a city work, and he has boiled it down to one essential factor: walkability. For urban life to thrive, cities must prioritize pedestrians over cars. Six-lane highways tearing through downtown must give way to crossable streets, massive parking lots must give way to pedestrian plazas, architecture designed to be appreciated from afar must give way to welcoming buildings. Making all of this happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing what needs to be done is the trick. Speck can show us the invisible workings underneath the city, how simple decisions have cascading effects, and how we can make the right decisions for our cities. Cities have been recognized as the key to sustainable living. But New York, San Francisco, Chicago, D.C. - these are not the next great American cities, and they are not where the future of urban life will be formed. Most Americans live in midsize cities - Lowell, Massachusetts; Tacoma, Washington; Grand Rapids, Michigan - that need downtowns that are vibrant and appealing; they need to feel like the urban hubs that they are. They need walkability. Bursting with sharp observations and real-world examples, giving key insight to what urban planners actually do and how cities can and do change, "Walkable City" lays out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of how to make our American cities work.

作為一個Traffic Engineer，我特彆喜歡書裏譴責Traffic Engineer的話，醒腦
评分雖然walkability這種事對於用雙腳就能從城南走到城北的中國來說並沒啥稀奇的，然而作者的很多想法確能讓人有耳目一新之感。既有聽起來非常有道理的三年一換行車方嚮論，又有對交通工程師、建築師、市政規劃者的一係列批評。然而自己覺得最有趣的卻是這句：asking a sewer specialist to plant trees is like asking a pig to fly????
评分"The Americans can be counted on to do the right thing, once they've exhausted the alternatives." LMAO
评分作為一個壓馬路愛好者，看這本書就是點頭如雞啄米（如果有圖就更好瞭）
