I am over every newer development clearing all the trees. So lazy and boring with no character. The walk through the neighborhood is much more pleasant in photo 1.

Why Jeff Speck is a “Zoning Abolitionist”

Where placemaking meets paradise — J. David Chapman Jul 24, 2025. Where placemaking meets paradise. Most people come to Seaside, Florida, for the beach. I come for the sidewalks.

“As someone who spends much of my time thinking—and writing—about how we build community through the built environment, it’s hard not to see Seaside as more than a vacation spot. It’s a working case study in what planners call New Urbanism.”

Alys Beach is a perfect example in pedestrian prioritization in design.

Alys Beach was designed with resilience and sustainability as a priority against climate change.

The Jeff Speck rule of keeping the walk interesting. The tree canopy also provides shade that is a natural defense for cooling an outdoor space.

Rule 1: Sell Walkability on Wealth

Walkable cities generate far more GDP per capita than car-dependent ones. Guess how much more in the comments down below. The answer’s in the book! www.amazon.com/Walkable-Cit...
