The most prolific and persistent product of the unfolding vision of
'liveable cities' and 'cities for people' has been the genesis and
growth of 'complete streets;' a concept and movement that has
exploded across the urban planning, transportation planning,
environmental policy, sustainable communities, and other scenes.
Incomplete streets is about those where important missing
narratives in the complete streets discourse and practice result in
streets that are complete for some but not others. It applies a
critical perspective on the rhetoric and practice of complete
streets that goes beyond seeing streets as merely functional spaces
for moving people and objects. Organized around three themes,
People, Places and Streets focuses on seeing users (e.g.,
pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, transit riders) as people. The
section examines how certain people get written out of the history
of streets, how urban planning's historical neglect of race and
class dimensions of urban populations might be reproduced in the
complete streets movement, and whether truly complete streets have
the potential to undo decades of structural inequalities in
society.Intersections, Systems and Streets plays with the notion
that streets are physical spaces and places where a wide range of
physical and symbolic processes and systems intersect. Complete
streets are embedded in a range of processes-including economic,
transportation, food, cultural and governance processes-that shape
society. This section explores how seeing streets as detached from
these processes results in the reproduction of historical
inequalities literally built into our cities and streets. Complete
Streets in Practice provides international case studies of complete
streets efforts as ones that fully understand the complex social,
cultural, economic, political and other intersections that exist in
streets as both spaces and places. This interdisciplinary book is
aimed at students, researchers and professionals in the fields of
urban geography, environmental studies, urban planning and policy,
transportation planning, and urban sociology.
