Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution Webinar

Join Cities for Everyone for their next webinar, “Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution” with guest speaker Janette Sadik-Khan, one of the world’s foremost authorities on transportation and urban transformation.

A principal with Bloomberg Associates, she served as New York City’s transportation commissioner from 2007 to 2013 under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, overseeing historic changes to the city’s streets—pedestrianizing Broadway in Times Square, building nearly 400 miles of bike lanes, launching Citi Bike, the world’s largest bike share system outside of China, and creating seven rapid bus lines and more than 60 plazas citywide. She chairs the National Association of Transportation Officials and Global Designing Cities Initiative, implementing new, people-focused street design standards, which have been adopted in more than 150 cities across the United States and around the world.

Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution tells the real-life stories of cities that are transforming themselves by transforming their most undervalued assets: Their streets. From Manhattan to Mexico City to Milan to Mumbai, reimagining streets as places for people to walk, to gather, to ride bikes and to take public transportation improves the safety, economy and vibrancy of cities and touches the lives of millions of people. Getting there isn’t easy—it’s a fight!—but the strategies, the battles and the hard-won victories provide lessons for cities everywhere.
