5 Or So Books on Streets and Traffic You Should Read

A student asked what books should he read. That of course depends. These are some books I liked about streets and traffic.

1. Traffic: Why We Drive The Way We Do, and What It Says About Us - Tom Vanderbilt

2. Magic Motorways - Norman Bel Geddes (this is in many ways a classic by the creator of the 1939 Futurama exhibit)

3. Great Streets - Allen B. Jacobs

4. Streets Ahead - The Design Council (my first introduction to Woonerfs, from 1979)

5. Streets and Patterns: The Structure of Urban Geometry - Stephen Marshall [review]
