Global Street Design Guide previewed at CityLab 2015
Janette Sadik-Khan, Chair of NACTO and the Global Designing Cities Initiative(GDCI), and Principal at Bloomberg Associates, unveiled a preview to the upcoming Global Street Design Guide at the CityLab Conference in London on the 20th of October.
The upcoming Global Street Design Guide will be a timely resource that will set a global baseline for designing streets and public spaces while redefining the role of streets in a rapidly urbanizing world.
Transit streets are great streets. With ridership booming, cities are transforming their streets to actively prioritize transit, creating more effective service and unlocking opportunities for world-class public space.
The purpose of the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (part of the Cities for Cycling initiative) is to provide cities with state-of-the-practice solutions that can help create complete streets that are safe and enjoyable for bicyclists.
