Street Design

Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns, 2nd Edition operates as a practical handbook dedicated to walkable cities, urban planning, and community improvement. Authors John Massengale and Victor Dover structure the volume to guide physical layout decisions across diverse town settings.

To illustrate core design principles, the text presents detailed case analyses of over 150 streets, examining the reasons behind their success and explaining how each was designed and built. The volume incorporates contributions from twenty design experts, featuring commentary from figures such as Andrés Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Léon Krier, Nicholas Boys Smith, Jeff Speck, Stefanos Polyzoides, and John Norquist.

Intended for urban designers, city planners, architects, engineers, landscape architects, and civic leaders, the handbook provides structured reference material for enhancing neighborhood environments.
