Streets of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
The street connects us to the wider world and is a venue for many of life’s activities. This combination of linkage and destination makes the study of streets compelling and important. Streets foster social and economic life in cities. Streets also meet the need for movement. The task of street planning and design is to balance these demands. Located at the juxtaposition and responding to dynamic systems of transportation, land use, and human behavior, streets themselves will not remain static. The study of streets is therefore an inquiry into the evolution of cities and their inhabitants. The task of contemporary practice in street planning and design is to guide this evolution toward more sustainable outcomes. This article concludes with an exploration of best practice in creating more sustainable streets.
