Synopsis
First built in Europe and grandly imported to the US in the mid-19th century, the classic multiway boulevard has been in decline for many years, victim of a narrowly focused approach to street design that views unencumbered vehicular traffic flow as the highest priority. The American preoccupation with destination and speed has made multiway boulevards increasingly rare as artifacts of the urban landscape. This book reintroduces the boulevard, tree-lined and with separate realms for through traffic and for slow-paced vehicular-pedestrian movement, as an important and often crucial feature of both historic and contemporary cities. It presents more than 50 boulevards - as varied as Avenue Montaigne, in Paris; C. G. Road, in Ahmedabad, India; and The Esplanade, in Chico, California - celebrating their usefulness and beauty. It discusses their history and evolution, the misconceptions that led to their near-demise in the US, and their potential as a modern street type., A celebration of the multiway boulevard and an argument for its revival, with design guidelines and historic examples.
