Closing Keynote: Great Streets, Great City

Closing Keynote: Great Streets, Great City

How can we elevate our cities by creating streets that are not just transportation corridors, but also beautiful and memorable places?  Urban planner and designer Victor Dover will share inspiring images and examples from the great cities and boulevards of history. He will showcase the specific design elements that add up to great, inviting streets and cities. He’ll challenge city transportation engineers to expand our own role – to move beyond signage, striping and bollards to thoughtfully create handsome streets that generate civic pride.

Victor Dover, FAICP, is a co-founder of Dover, Kohl & Partners Town Planning based in Coral Gables, Florida. He is former national chair of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU) and lead designer of more than 150 neighborhoods, urban revitalization programs, and regional plans across the United States and abroad. He is the co-author of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns.
