| | Rebuilding and Repairing the Downtown of Cities | |
|
In the ideal interactions of pedestrians and cars, cars are vibrant, pedestrians are vibrant, the two zones are separate, but touch everywhere. There are at least five ways this can happen. |
Cars moving slowly -- people and cars mixed up |
Quiet place, good space for pedestrians, narrow slow space for cars |
Wide densely traveled pedestrian streets crossing densely traveled roads with cars and buses |
Pedestrian lanes, internal to the block |
Cars dominate, with access to beautiful and pure pedestrian space |
