A MASSIVE and very well organized new addition to our #UrbanismBookClub, “The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook” by @nicolarco & Kaarin Knudson via @routledgebooks. I’m intrigued by the framework approach to the book’s contents. This looks like one I’ll be pulling off the shelf.
Looking forward to being on @NewUrbanism's On the Park Bench webinar on Aug 20th at 12pm ET. Will be talking about the new Sustainable Urban Design Handbook we just published (more info here: blogs.uoregon.edu/nlarco/sus…)

Thoroughly enjoyed being interviewed by Jeff Wood on the @theoverheadwire podcast from @StreetsblogUSA. Talked about importance of housing and density (it affects everything we try to do...) and our newly published Sustainable Urban Design Handbook.

"If we want sustainable places, we need a whole bunch of people who are strong advocates for certain issues. But also we also have to understand the importance of having synergy with other sustainability goals." usa.streetsblog.org/2024/07/…
Enjoyed talking to Kea Wilson from @StreetsblogUSA about about why people in #transportation need to pay attention to #urban #design and all of the different aspects of making a place #sustainable!

Thoroughly researched and graphically rich, the book includes hundreds of images, diagrams, and examples from across the globe.
Please share with your networks and anyone else who is interested in making more #sustainable, #livable, and #vibrant #communities! And please let us know what you think of the handbook. Truly hope it is helpful to your work!

A group of San Franciscans realized that they can disable Waymo and Cruise robotaxis by placing a traffic cone on the vehicle's hood.
They're now encouraging others to do it: "Hell no, we do not consent to this."
