CITY STREETS

STEP 3: THE IDEAL INTERACTIONS

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

In what follows, everything you do, has to do with gradually establishing one of these main patterns, in some form, on each block in the city, and slowly joining them together to make the whole coherent.

If you don't need the helpscreen, go to Step 4: Make a block-by-block diagnosis of the city zone
