Making the connection between

urban design and sustainability

Great streets are the bones of great neighborhoods.

Great neighborhoods are walkable.

Walkable neighborhoods are sustainable.

I’m traveling the world looking for great streets;

photographing, measuring, and researching.

I hope you will join me on my journey.

THE BOOK

GREAT STREETS OF
SINGAPORE'S
CHINATOWN

A great street is a street full of life. People are drawn to walk down it, visit the places on it, and explore it. But a street does not become great by accident. There is a recipe, a design to making a street walkable. Urbanists Jeff Speck and Victor Dover explore in their books theories of walkability. To attract people to walk down a street, the walk must be useful, safe, comfortable and interesting. This book takes their theories and tests them on the streets of Singapore’s Chinatown. The great streets are identified, photographed, decoded and cataloged. The streets in this book tell the story of Chinatown. These streets can inspire future designs. These streets are a must-see.
