In March 2026, GDCI will launch a series of open and global webinar sessions on Designing for Safe Speeds —our latest supplement to the award-winning Global Street Design Guide. The series will explore key principles from the guide, share practical design strategies, and highlight real-world examples that demonstrate how cities are managing speeds and saving lives.
In this webinar, Skye Duncan, Director of Global Designing Cities Initiative, spoke about lessons learned from GDCI interim interventions including how to engage local communities and move from project to program. Michael Lydon, Principal of Street Plans Collaborative, shared his experience on the role of tactical urbanism in gathering public support for urban projects.
