Beautiful streets in Coral Gables, South Miami and Miami Beach are featured in the new book Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns  (Wiley, 2014). To celebrate the launch of the book, the City of Coral Gables and Books & Books are hosting a reception and book signing with local co-author and townplanner Victor Dover and other contributors at the Coral Gables Museum.  Coral Gables' Director of Planning & Zoning, Ramon Trias, will make introductory remarks.

Written by two accomplished architects and urban designers, this  user-friendly street design manual shows both how to design new streets and enhance existing ones. It offers step-by-step instruction and shares examples of excellent streets, examining the elements that make them  successful as well as how they were designed and created. Topics also  include strategies for shaping space in the public right-of-way through correct building height to street width ratios, terminated vistas,  landscaping, and street geometry. This book is a valuable resource for architects, urban
designers, landscape architects, and engineers.

With guest  essays from: Kaid Benfield, David Brussat, Javier Cenicacelaya, Hank  Dittmar, Andres Duany, Douglas Duany, Emily Glavey, Chip Kaufman, Ethan  Kent, Marieanne Khoury-Vogt,  Leon Krier, Gianni Longo, Thomas Low, Laura Lyon, Chuck Marohn, Paul Murrain, John Norquist, Stefanos Polyzoides, Gabriele Tagliaventi and Erik Vogt.
