United States, Designer December 29, 1928
Allan B. Jacobs is an urban designer, renowned for his publications and research on urban design. His well-known paper "Toward an Urban Design Manifesto", written with Donald Appleyard, describes how cities should be laid out.
Given a limited budget, the most effective expenditure of funds to improve a street would probably be on trees.
Streets moderate the form and structure and comfort of urban communities.
No great city has ever been known for its abundant supply of parking.
If we can develop and design streets so that they are wonderful, fulfilling places to be - community-building places, attractive for all people - then we will have successfully designed about one-third of the city directly and will have had an immense impact on the rest.
