Abstract: In her work, landscape architect and urban designer Julie Campoli highlights 12 vibrant North American neighborhoods where residents thrive without relying on cars. Through hundreds of photographs and maps, she illustrates the design elements, policies, and amenities that support walkable, transit-oriented communities. Campoli’s analysis provides valuable guidance for urban developers, policymakers, and students seeking to create sustainable neighborhoods. By emphasizing compact development, mixed land uses, and accessible public spaces, she demonstrates how thoughtful urban planning can reduce vehicle miles traveled, lower emissions, and combat climate change, while also enhancing quality of life and fostering more connected, livable communities.
