Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. Making downtown into a walkable, viable community is the essential fix for the typical American city; it is eminently achievable and its benefits are manifold. Walkable City - bursting with sharp observations and key insights into how urban change happens - lays out a practical, necessary, and inspiring vision for how to make American cities great again.
