The historical purpose of street design since the industrial revolution has been to move as much motorized traffic as quickly as possible from one point to another. Of course, street design standards vary from town to town, but in general street design generally focuses on moving cars and trucks. Now, times have changed. Increased population densities and mixed-use developments require the re-imagining of streets into places to move people, not vehicles. Thus, the old standards and dominant thought process for street design has become a legacy issue that we need to tackle in the 21st century. Through this course, engineers, planners, architects, contractors and practitioners within the A/E/C industry will learn the principles of developing complete streets to focus on the movement of people.
