­­Janette Sadik-KhanStreetfight – Handbook for an Urban Revolution by Janette Sadik-Khan and Seth Solomonow

Reviewed by Todd Jersey, AIA

Sadik-Khan/Solomonow’s mission was to “claw back” the public realm from the 100-year onslaught of auto-centricity and to, in her words, “rebalance” our streets to more equitably serve pedestrians and bicyclists and more effectively accommodate other forms of mobility.1 How Sadik-Khan clawed back the streets of NYC for walkers and bikers – book review
