Insights into a Lively Downtown

[OurTulsa]

Interesting video on downtowns:

"What makes a downtown district appealing? Why do people go out of their way to walk down one side of the street and not the other?These are some of the questions that recent MUP graduate Kirk Westphal tackles with his 19-minute documentary film, Insights into a Lively Downtown: An Ann Arbor, Michigan Case Study. In this audio-visual exploration of successful city streets, Insights weaves together pedestrian interviews with footage of streetscapes and sidewalk behavior to show what Ann Arbor's healthy blocks have in common."
