This book examines the historical development of urban street layouts, focusing on the relationship between the size and shape of city blocks and the economic and social vitality of an area. This interdisciplinary study, ranging from the physical sciences to history and public policy, includes comparative analysis of cities in the United States and Europe. The author argues that the way cities are laid out can have a significant impact on the development of various neighborhoods, even determining whether they will become slums or havens of commerce. Used to support policy recommendations for improving the city, this book offers urban planners and policymakers, historians, architects, and environmentalists valuable insights into the relationship between city planning and urban vitality.
