When I first wrote Sidewalk Strategies, my goal was to provide people who were interested in grassroots organizing an inside look at what it takes to successfully organize. This new edition retells some of the important lessons learned from years of organizing and adds new stories and examples to inspire a new generation of activists. Today more people are interested in organizing than ever before. And wow, do they need to be. Donald Trump and his followers have wreaked unprecedented damage to our democracy, to the environment, and to communities across the country. Repairing the damage to our country and our democratic institutions will take great organizing and it is going to take a lot of hard and sustained work, long after Trump exits (finally) from office. The damage won't be undone by winning an election or two. It will take many battles on many fronts. And it is going to take a lot of well-trained organizers who can inspire others to get involved and take action. In this era of rapid mass communication, it is important to understand that successful organizing often takes years and that the lessons learned by the Labor activists in the 30's and the Civil Rights activists in the 60's are even more relevant today. Demonstrations and marches are important, but real change requires sustained effort over time. While our country and our institutions are resilient, there is too much money and power on one side and too little effective opposition on the other to be complacent. Organizers are needed to fight hatred, bigotry, racism, and inequality that exist throughout our country. As organizers we learn our work is never done. Since this book was written primarily for young people who may be interested in social justice, I included a section on reflections from organizers young and old. I am extremely grateful to each organizer who provided their insights." - Larry Tramutola
This title re-maps public space in order to unveil contemporary spatial practices and to explore future possibilities. In the midst of historic migration and urbanisation, our limited public spaces are being contested and re-conceptualised in cities around the world with innovative experiments in some places and bloody battles in others. This book uses the case of sidewalks in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam where a vibrant everyday urbanism takes place in flexible patterns that defy conventional conceptions of public space.
This report focuses on how sidewalks and trails can be made accessible and usable by the widest possible segment of the population. Sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, a project to research existing conditions on sidewalks and trails for people with disabilities was designed in two parts. Part I, covers literature surveys, site surveys and interviews along with the history of accessibility legislation, travel characteristics of the disabled and engineering and construction design practices. Part II provides data on implementing the requirements of parts of two acts, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Urban sidewalks, critical but undervalued public spaces, have been sites for political demonstrations and urban greening, promenades for the wealthy and the well-dressed, and shelterless shelters for the homeless. On sidewalks, decade after decade, urbanites have socialized, paraded and played, sold their wares, and observed city life. These uses often overlap and conflict, and urban residents and planners try to include some and exclude others. In this first book-length analysis of the sidewalk as a distinct public space, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Renia Ehrenfeucht examine the evolution of the American urban sidewalk and trace conflicts that have arisen over its competing uses. They discuss the characteristics of sidewalks as small urban public spaces, and such related issues as the ambiguous boundaries of their 'public' status, contestation around specific uses, control and regulations, and the implications for First Amendment speech and assembly rights. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples as well as case study research and archival data from five cities - Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle - the authors focus on how the functions and meanings of street activities have shifted and have been negotiated through controls and interventions. They consider sidewalk uses that include the display of individual and group identities (in ethnic and pride parades, for example), the everyday politics of sidewalk access, and larger political actions (including Seattle's 1999 antiglobalization protests), and examine the complex regulatory frameworks that manage street and sidewalk life. The role of urban sidewalks in the early twenty-first century depends, the authors conclude, on what we want from sidewalk life and how we balance competing interests.

Like a modern-day Jane Jacobs, Janette Sadik-Khan transformed New York City's streets to make room for pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and green spaces. Describing the battles she fought to enact change, Streetfight imparts wisdom and practical advice that other cities can follow to make their own streets safer and more vibrant. As New York City’s transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan managed the seemingly impossible and transformed the streets of one of the world’s greatest, toughest cities into dynamic spaces safe for pedestrians and cyclists. Her approach was dramatic and effective: Simply painting a part of the street to make it into a plaza or bus lane not only made the street safer, but it also lessened congestion and increased foot traffic, which improved the bottom line of businesses. Real-life experience confirmed that if you know how to read the street, you can make it function better by not totally reconstructing it but by reallocating the space that’s already there. Breaking the street into its component parts, Streetfight demonstrates, with step-by-step visuals, how to rewrite the underlying “source code” of a street, with pointers on how to add protected bike paths, improve crosswalk space, and provide visual cues to reduce speeding. Achieving such a radical overhaul wasn’t easy, and Streetfight pulls back the curtain on the battles Sadik-Khan won to make her approach work. She includes examples of how this new way to read the streets has already made its way around the world, from pocket parks in Mexico City and Los Angeles to more pedestrian-friendly streets in Auckland and Buenos Aires, and innovative bike-lane designs and plazas in Austin, Indianapolis, and San Francisco. Many are inspired by the changes taking place in New York City and are based on the same techniques. Streetfight deconstructs, reassembles, and reinvents the street, inviting readers to see it in ways they never imagined.
