Shanghai Street Design Guidelines

摘要

Cities need high quality street environments and public spaces that are not dominated by moving and parked vehicles. Manual for Streets (2007) and the New York-based National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) are two key street design guides. This well-produced and lavishly illustrated guide may not be easy to procure, but it is well worth the effort. The full title includes 'humanised street shaping', and the language in the translation is more endearing than usually found in publications. For example, well-designed streets should 'promote friendship', while buildings along the street should satisfy 'the visual experience while walking'.
