Focusing on the liberating promise of public space, The Beach Beneath the Streets examines the activist struggles of communities in New York City—queer youth of color, gardeners, cyclists, and anti-gentrification activists—as they transform streets, piers, and vacant lots into everyday sites for autonomy, imagination, identity formation, creativity, problem solving, and even democratic renewal. Through ethnographic accounts of contests over New York City's public spaces that highlight the tension between resistance and repression, Shepard and Smithsimon identify how changes in the control of public spaces—parks, street corners, and plazas—have reliably foreshadowed elites' shifting designs on the city at large. With an innovative taxonomy of public space, the authors frame the ways spaces as diverse as gated enclaves, luxury shopping malls, collapsing piers and street protests can be understood in relation to one another. Synthesizing the fifty-year history of New York's neoliberal transformation and the social movements which have opposed the process, The Beach Beneath the Streets captures the dynamics at work in the ongoing shaping of urban spaces into places of repression, expression, control, and creativity.

Navy pilot Frank Del Vecchio returned home on a weekend leave only to find his neighborhood had disappeared. Boston's West End was being demolished in an urban renewal land grab, its twelve thousand immigrant Jewish and Italian residents summarily displaced. This was the turning point for Frank-he resigned his Navy commission and instead chose to battle political corruption. CITY STREETS is the story of a kid from the Depression era who wins a college scholarship, goes through Navy flight training, serves as a carrier pilot, and lands at Harvard Law School. From saving Boston's historic Charlestown neighborhood, to working with Martin Luther King, Jr. on projects for inner-city Washington D.C., Del Vecchio's memoir vividly recalls a time of struggle, idealism and hard-won triumphs.

Congested city streets are noisy and thick with cars and trucks, while pedestrians and cyclists are squeezed to the dangerous edges—but does it have to be this way? Imagine a city where we aren’t stuck in cars, where clean air makes it easier to breathe, and where transit is easy to access—and on time. Imagine a city where streets are for people! This fun, accessible and ultimately hopeful book explores sustainable transportation around the globe, including electric vehicles, public transit, bicycles, walking and more. It invites us to conjure up a city of the future, where these modes are all used together to create a place that is sustainable, healthy, accessible and safe. Includes a list of ideas for children to promote green transportation in their communities, along with a glossary and sources for further reading. The ThinkCities series is inspired by the urgency for new approaches to city life as a result of climate change, population growth and increased density. It highlights the challenges and risks cities face, but also offers hope for building resilience, sustainability and quality of life as young people advocate for themselves and their communities.

As a young girl leaving her Alabama home for the first time ever, Julie Leigh was no different from any other country girls who dreamed of bright lights and large crowds screaming, "Julie, Julie". The book tells the story about a young person searching for success and responding to that small voice crying out: Go to Nashville, Julie Leigh, go to Nashville. Making it big in Nashville is not a straightforward road. There are many bypasses, detours, and sharp curves to navigate.

Of all the elements of a neighborhood, the pattern of streets and their infrastructure is the most enduring. Given the 20th century's additions to the range of transportation means--trains, subways, buses, trucks, bicycles, motorbikes and cars--all vying for space and effectiveness, a fresh look at the streets is warranted. This book contributes a new system of neighborhood design with a focus on contemporary planning priorities. Drawing lessons from historic and current development, it proposes a new pattern more fitting for modern culture, addressing such issues as walkability, mobility, health, safety, security, cost and greenhouse gas emissions. Case studies of national and international neighborhoods and districts based on the new network model demonstrate its application in real-world situations.
