The Legacy of Livable Streets: Four decades later, what have we learned?
Donald Appleyard’s seminal 1981 book
Livable Streets revealed the
detrimental effects of automobile traffic on street life and
communities. How has this influential book affected city
planning and transport policies since then? In this talk, hear about contemporary evidence of automobile
impacts and best practices from places where livable streets have
become a priority. With
Bruce Appleyard, who is
working on the second edition to his father’s book and
Joshua Hart, who
will discuss his plane-free journey from San Francisco to the UK, where
he replicated Donald Appleyard’s study for the first time in Europe.
