He has written or edited several books, including Streets and Patterns (2005), Land Use and Transport (with David Banister), Cities, Design and Evolution (2009) and Urban Coding and Planning (2011).

CONFERENCE ABSTRACT: The presentation will start with a brief look at historical aspects of streets in relation to cities, in particular considering the co-evolution of transport modes and urban forms, and the structuring role of streets. This will lead to a focusing on the street as a morphological element, and the typical urban ‘syntax’ found in cities; and a brief overview of different kinds of street patterns. Then the narrative will look more closely at the ideas and professional approaches guiding streets and street layout design, from 20th century ‘Modernist’ approaches which ignored or discouraged streets (as opposed to roads) to more recent ‘neo-traditional urbanist’ approaches favouring the renaissance of the street, and street-based design guidance. The presentation will then move on to recent research into street design and planning issues, including the work of the EU ARTISTS project (Arterial Streets for People).
