- Abstract in English : Seattle’s new Comprehensive Plan outlines the development of existing and new pedestrian-oriented, moderate density and mixed-used urban villages. The Comprehensive Plan provides a vision and framework for collaborative, urban village-based neighbourhood planning, in which streets and street design are a high priority. This paper will explore the dimensions of collaboration developing around ‘Streets that Work’ as part of implementing the Comprehensive Plan. It will describe programmes and initiatives in Seattle that promote streets as valuable resources contributing to the health and vitality of the city.
