This is the book that started it all for me!!! I read this 5 years ago and it helped me decide to go to urban planning grad school. It put words into what I’d felt for so long, growing up in a suburb. the design of our built environment shapes our quality of our life every single day. And that when that design is centered around cars, it robs us of everyday quality of life in small ways. Those small losses add up to big ones. It was cool to read this as a design-oriented person because the book outlines tangible changes to the urban fabric, steps to materially improve pedestrian life and enjoyment
