The Battle for Streets: Reclaiming Our Right of Way

This workshop will have a combination of lectures, guest speaker sessions, and site visit to critical nodes in the New York street network to discuss, critique, and analyze the role and evolution of streets. The workshop will rely heavily on the research and findings of the National Association of City Transportation Officials, and its global arm, the Global Designing Cities Initiative, and their internationally acclaimed Global Street Design Guide.

Site visits would entail taking measurements of street segments, exploring the streets from the average height of a five year old, counting users at busy intersections, and synthesizing findings at the end of the workshop.
