摘要

The Urban Street Symposium was held at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, Texas, onJune 28-30, 1999. About 200 planners, engineers, and other urban street design professionals attended to hear presentations about numerous urban street design topics, ranging from designing for those with disabilities to flexible and neo-traditional street design. The symposium was conceived with the goal of achieving the following objections: provide a forum for comparison and debate of alternative urban street design practices; highlight problems caused by certain design practices, and better alternatives; promote applications of research; reconsider long-held urban street design practices in light of the 'new urbanism' movement; document better urban street design practices; show 'how to do it'; share innovations with others; and transfer urban street research findings to state agencies and to local governments.
