Street Smart
Streetcars and Cities in the 21st Century (2006)
With APTA and the Community Streetcar Coalition (Reconnecting America, 2006)
This richly illustrated book is about streetcars and the tremendous private investment they help generate. There are case studies of the most robust new systems and the ways they’ve been used to leverage ambitious public goals like affordability and high-quality public space, and chapters on planning, financing and the more technical aspects of building a system, and also a history of streetcars as a public/private venture.
The 2009 edition of the book is available for purchase here.
