   Gehl & Hook: a cool
duo<http://velomondial.blogspot.com/2010/09/gehl-hook-cool-duo.html>
  Urban consultant Jan Gehl <http://www.gehlarchitects.com/> and
Walter Hook<http://www.itdp.org/>have together set out ten key steps
to creating more sustainable cities in a
new publication “Our Cities Ourselves: 10 Principles for Transport in Urban
Life”. <http://itdp.org/documents/2010-OurCitiesOurselves_Booklet.pdf>What
are the ten principles of sustainable transport? 1. Walk the walk: Create
great pedestrian environments 2. Powered by people: Create a great
environment for bicycles and other non-motorized vehicles 3. Get on the bus:
Provide great, cost-effective public transport 4. Cruise control: Provide
access for clean passenger vehicles at safe speeds and in significantly
reduced numbers 5. Deliver the goods: Service the city in the cleanest and
safest manner. 6. Mix it up: Mix people and activities, buildings and
spaces. 7. Fill it in: Build dense, people and transit oriented urban
districts that are desirable. 8. Get real: Preserve and enhance the local,
natural, cultural, social and historical assets. 9. Connect the blocks: Make
walking trips more direct, interesting and productive with small-size,
permeable buildings and blocks. 10. Make it last: Build for the long term.
Sustainable cities bridge generations. They are memorable, malleable, built
from quality materials, and well maintained. Velo Mondial is happy to
promote both authors and their 10
principles<http://itdp.org/documents/2010-OurCitiesOurselves_Booklet.pdf>
