I love this town planning series!

Thank you.. Your videos are really useful

Thank you, Afna. I am glad you found these videos helpful. We are at work now on several new episodes. Are the specific topics you would be most interested in? Also, please take a look at www.doverkohl.com for more information.

This very closely relates on how I decide, if I want to ride my bike on the road or the sidewalk: If the buildings are nearby and everything feels "tight", speeds are low and traffic is probably at "bike speed", while the sidewalks clearly belong to people walking. But when the road is very wide and buildings are far away (or even open land on one side), then people will behave, as if they are out of town: Drivers will drive fast, pedestrians will be sparse - and yep, that path on the side can be seen as a bike lane (and was probably once even build as such…).

Super to hear you've found it useful. Any ideas for future video topics we should cover in the Town Planning Stuff Everyone Needs to Know series?

Hey Dover, Can you please do a video that names towns or neighborhoods that demonstrate 1 or more of your design criteria done "right". I'd like to visit some of them to see what "right" looks like.

Nice video. Any thoughts on why US American cities lack this type of streets?

@Badass Beaver And to add to this; Cars just happened to be this new-fangled and seemingly-futuristic way of transporting yourself and your family across the country. Thanks to the economic booms at the time, a bunch of middle-class families were offered to choose a Suburban-style residential status quo to build into, so they could move out of where they currently were, to somewhere 'safe' and isolated from any sort of city hustle and bustle. America was completely into the idea of car dependency because it could, thanks to a newfound amount of money to play with after the war. It's just that backwards planning practices and a lack of consideration for a lot of other things came with that as well - and have stayed. Edit: America 'did' have a lot of these walkable streets. You could find them in a lot of pre-war neighborhoods and towns. But afterwards, most new towns ended up being built to appease the suburban middle class, and a lot of those other pre-war neighborhoods were effectively flattened and retrofitted to reach the same goals.

A good street is never a stroad. Stroads are horrible.
