Ebook: Rethinking Streets

An Evidence-Based Guide to 25 Complete Street Transformations. University of Oregon, 2013.The University of Oregon’s Sustainable Cities Initiative (SCI) works to leverage the resources,
expertise, energy and capacity embedded within universities to make good sustainable places
through research, teaching, training and policy/advocacy. SCI’s award winning Sustainable City
Year Program (SCYP) has developed a new catalytic learning pedagogical model that has been
described as perhaps the most comprehensive effort by a U.S. university to infuse sustainability
into its curricula and community outreach (NY Times) and one of higher education’s most
successful and comprehensive service-learning programs (Chronicle of Higher Education). SCI’s
applied research focuses on sustainability and the built environment, sustainable urban design,
active transportation, transit, triple bottom line analysis and more. SCI also actively works with
policy makers and practitioners internationally, providing advising, training and consultation in a
variety of sustainability areas related to cities, livability and quality of life. More information can be
