Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIV : Livable Streets
Livable Streets is a book by Donald Appleyard in which he showed that streets have many social and recreational functions which are severely impaired by fast car traffic For example, residents of streets with light traffic have, on average, three more friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on streets with heavy traffic. Also, as the amount of traffic increases, the space people considered to be their "territory" shrank.
