Imagining a More Just Street
Introduction
This book explores the geography of the everyday roadway and contemplates how regulation and design shape our streets. People may question the hegemony of cars, but reimagining public streets is a major conceptual and technical challenge.
Theoretical Foundations
Drawing from “new mobilities” and transport studies, Prytherch addresses how streets are structured by policy standards; what it means to have a right to the street; and how a more just street would look—in both theory and practice.
Legal and Practical Insights
He summarizes key traffic statutes, case laws, and engineering manuals, and interprets these in relation to mobility rights and justice.
Moving Beyond Criticism
At its core, the book moves beyond criticism to highlight emerging movements which aim to develop more complete and livable streets for everyone.
