Jeff Speck is a city planner, urban designer, and author who helps communities become better places to live, walk, and explore.
Have you ever wondered why some neighborhoods have wide sidewalks, bike paths, and welcoming parks, while others make it difficult to get around without a car? Jeff studies how the design of streets, buildings, and public spaces shapes our everyday lives.
As the author of Walkable City, Jeff explains how thoughtful planning can make communities safer, healthier, and more connected. His work brings together creativity, problem-solving, and an interest in helping people.
