Ah, I was wondering if you would have one my favorite professor’s books on your original list and see it’s close to the top — Great Streets by Allan Jacobs. His classes were my among my favorites while I was at UCB. And I participated in two of his summer urban design programs in Italy. Terrific.

@modacitylife.com's Building the Cycling City for its direct policies, metrics, and goals for improving cities. But their Curbing Traffic is such a nice, accessible read it's hard not to include both in #urbanismbookclub

Inclusive Transportation by Veronica Davis definitely has got to be on the list. I think it provides an extremely important & thorough look at how our cities have been shaped to exclude and could be done better.

Honorable mention to #urbanismbookclub but misses the age cutoff just barely. I have a soft spot for For The Love Of Cities which, to me, felt like it was describing this new phenomenon of people wearing their civic pride and city-branded clothes. He described it as "holding hands with your city"
