Summary:
Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive. And he has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability. The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core. But in the typical American city, the car is still king, and downtown is a place that’s easy to drive to but often not worth arriving. Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick. In this essential new book, Speck reveals the invisible workings of the city, how simple decisions have cascading effects, and how we can all make the right choices for our communities. Bursting with observations and real-world examples, giving key insight into what urban planners actually do and how places can and do change, Walkable City lays out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of how to make normal American cities great again.

En janvier 2010 j’eus la chance de trouver une plaque de grès noir entrecroisé couvert de lichen, intacte, qui m'attendait bien loin au sud-est de l’oasis la plus proche. Elle était verticale, enchâssée entre deux énormes blocs et protégée des vents de sable par un buisson d’euphorbes. Elle mesurait environ trente sur quarante centimètres. La scène, dans un grand(...)

Elle était verticale, enchâssée entre deux énormes blocs et protégée des vents de sable par un buisson d’euphorbes. Elle mesurait environ trente sur quarante centimètres. La scène, dans un grand silence, représentait un homme debout, le pied gauche posé sur un bloc et le bras droit tendu. Sur sa main aux doigts écartés était posé un oiseau huppé, bec ouvert, face au regard de l’homme. A l’arrière-plan un soleil blanc dardait ses rayons comme des racines ondulantes qui entrelaçaient ses épaules. La joue scarifiée laissait entrevoir le chiffre trois suivi du un. Un buisson de genre aloès, en bas à droite, terminait le tableau. C’était net, magnifique, énigmatique, totémique. Quelques jours plus tard, la plaque retrouvée n’offrait plus que l’oiseau affolé, pattes liées à un fil de pyrite: l’or des fous.
