Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Pedestrian-Friendly Cities explores the crucial role of walkability in modern urban planning, arguing that prioritizing pedestrian-centered design enhances public health, environmental sustainability, and community revitalization. It challenges the car-centric planning of the 20th century, which led to sprawling suburbs and a decline in walkable neighborhoods, and demonstrates that consciously designing for pedestrians can significantly improve urban life.

Cities were historically pedestrian-friendly, offering lessons for today's urban planners seeking to create more livable spaces. The book examines design strategies like mixed-use zoning and traffic calming, presenting case studies of successful pedestrian-friendly cities. It demonstrates how prioritizing walking can lead to longer, healthier lives for residents and stronger community bonds.

By integrating architecture with public health considerations, the book offers a holistic perspective, emphasizing that creating walkable cities involves more than just sidewalks; it requires a fundamental shift in urban planning philosophy. Beginning with foundational concepts, the book progresses to analyze specific design strategies, concluding with a practical guide for implementing pedestrian-friendly principles.

It addresses the interconnectedness of urban design, individual well-being, and environmental sustainability, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and community advocates aiming to create thriving, resilient urban environments.
