Our community streets occupy over 30% of the public realm. What if they were used to support human development, not just transportation?

What if the vehicles of the future used a five foot wide roadway?
What if street lane markings could digitally change into the lines for a basketball court?
What if the power from vehicular movement could be stored under the roadway to light up the nighttime street or project art work and movies onto buildings?
What if streets treated pollutants and grew food?
What if America could reclaim its public realm

Re:Streets will develop a wide variety of innovative solutions by combining cutting edge research on street design and technology at a two-day design charrette featuring experts and pioneers in fields related to the design of streets. The best solutions will be published in an interactive digital design manual.

Charrette topics:
• Mobility
• Wayfinding
• Commerce
• Social Gathering
• Events and Programs
• Play and Recreation
• Green Infrastructure
• Urban Agriculture
• Image and Identity

Professionals in a wide variety of fields -urban planning, landscape architecture, engineering, transportation, disability advocacy, public health and recreation, pedestrian and bicycle advocacy, transit, housing, economics, green infrastructure, urban agriculture, product development, technology and safety-are encouraged to participate in the charrette.
