Cities Safer by Design: Urban Design Recommendations for Healthier Cities, Fewer Traffic Fatalities

From the World Resources Institute’s Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, Cities Safer by Design is a global reference guide to help cities save lives from traffic fatalities through improved street design and smart urban development. Over 1.2 million people die in traffic crashes globally each year, mostly pedestrians, and that number is growing every year. This hands-on guide taps examples from cities worldwide and includes 34 different design elements to improve safety and quality of life. The report was made possible by funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
