DNH Added to Livable Streets Network

"We are re-envisioning our cities, reversing decades of automobile-dominated planning and policy to create healthier, more sustainable, people-oriented neighborhoods, better prepared to meet the challenges of the new century. The Livable Streets Network is an online community for people working to create sustainable cities through sensible urban planning, design, and transportation policy. We provide free, open source, web-based, resources to citizens working to create a greener economy, address climate change, reduce oil dependence, alleviate traffic congestion, and provide better access to good jobs in healthy communities."

"We believe that people make a city great. Yet, so many of the world's great cities dedicate too much of their precious, limited public space - their streets - to motor vehicles rather than people. We are working to redesign our communities around public transportation and walkable, bikeable streets. We are transforming parking lots into public plazas, busy intersections into town squares, and congested highways into bike paths. We are taking back our cities, one street at a time."

Design New Haven is proud to support these goals, which are critical to the long-term success of areas like Downtown New Haven. Click here for the LSN site and scroll down for a list of other Livable Streets Network sites. The network is a project of the Open Planning Project.
