<p>The focus on automotive travel over the past century has changed the role of streets in cities. This has degraded the quality of urban life and contributed to public health issues. Riggs&rsquo; book offers a unique look at streets as locations that can evolve to support the economic, social, cultural and natural aspects of cities.</p>

<p>Riggs is Professor and Program Director in the School of Management at the University of San Francisco. A global expert and thought leader in transportation, economics, design, the environment and urban development, he is a consultant and advisor to multiple companies and start-ups on technology, mobility and the future of cities.</p>
