Author Description

In cities across the globe, streets consume vast amounts of public space, yet they are often designed solely for the convenience of cars. Street Fight makes the case that streets are the most vital public spaces in our cities and that we can, and must, redesign them to serve people, not just cars. Janette Sadik-Khan, former Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, and Seth Solomonow, a transportation policy expert, draw on their experiences implementing groundbreaking initiatives in New York City—from the Times Square pedestrian plaza to the expansion of bike lanes and the creation of new public spaces—to show how cities can reclaim their streets. Street Fight offers a blueprint for transforming urban landscapes, making them safer, more accessible, and more vibrant for everyone.
