About the Book
Streetfight chronicles Janette Sadik-Khan's remarkable tenure as New York City's transportation commissioner under Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The book details how she transformed the streets of one of the world's greatest cities into dynamic spaces for pedestrians, cyclists, and community engagement, often in the face of fierce opposition. It provides practical insights on urban planning, community development, and creating more inclusive public spaces.
Why We're Reading This
The DEI Committee selected this book to explore themes of equitable urban design, inclusive public spaces, and how transportation policy impacts diverse communities. We'll discuss how the principles in Streetfight can inform our approach to creating more accessible and inclusive environments.
We welcome all perspectives and look forward to a thoughtful conversation about urban transformation and inclusive design principles.
