I have received a wonderful gift from my friends @massengale.com & @victordover.bsky.social: the 2d ed. of their iconic book "Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns". 10 years ago, then Prince Charles wrote the foreword. I now have the honour of writing it. An amazing book! Well done 👏👏

I have written numerous prefaces for books, but I must say that the one for «Street Design» by my friends @massengale.com & @victordover.bsky.social was a real pleasure & also an honour 10 years after its release with Prince Charles at the time. The afterword by Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk another joy

I’ve heard it said that in the mid 20th century, many city planning programs were moved from university architecture departments (where the professors know how to draw) to the government department (where they don’t). The result was cities with more parking and less beauty.

If you are a young person who wants to become a great city planner, you need some real technical skills. Learning to draw (a skill often neglected in planning schools) is a good start.

Lately, I favor installing benches on wide downtown sidewalks perpendicular to the flow of passersby. Creates a little "walking eddy" room [I just made that term up] to encourage neighbors to pause and talk. Example from Mount Lebanon, PA. What do you think? #streetdesign

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
