With more than 200 illustrations, all prepared by the author, along with analysis and statistics, "Great Streets" offers information on street dimensions, plans, sections, and patterns of use, all systematically compared. It also reveals Jacob's eye for the telling human and social details that bring streets and communities to life. The essays that follow examine 15 particularly fine streets, ranging from medieval streets in Rome and Copenhagen to Venice's Grand Canal, from Parisian boulevards to tree-lined residental streets in American cities. Another feature of this book is a set of 50 one-square-mile maps, each reproduced at the same scale, of the street plans of representative cities around the world.
