Forum: Streets as Public Spaces: A New Vision From Germany

A consummate observer of city life and public space and a 30-year friend of the Project for Public Spaces, Rolf Monheim is one of the foremost experts on retail streets, parking management, traffic calming, access management strategies, and planning for walking and cycling.
