Speaking
Types
of speeches Dom Nozzi can give
in
your community
Transportation is Destiny:
In an entertaining, easy-to-understand, inspirational manner, Transportation
is Destiny evaluates why cars are deadly to the health of a city, and
provides a cookbook of tactics that can be used by citizens, activists,
professional planners, and elected officials to protect the community quality
of life and overall sustainability. The speech briefly summarizes my book,
published by Preager in 2003—perhaps the most provocative speech I give,
and the one I have most fun delivering.
The Car is
the Enemy of the City: Why
over-dependence on car travel is detrimental to the health of a city. This one
summarizes my forthcoming book.
Government Opposition to Smart Growth: How local governments, not evil or greedy
developers, are usually the biggest opponents of Smart Growth.
One-Way Streets: Are
the benefits worth the costs?
Big Box
Retail: What can a
community do about these large retailers? Big Box retail problems and
strategies to reduce their harmful potential.
Sprawl: How to define it, why it is a problem,
strategies to minimize it, and smart growth techniques.
Walkable
Neighborhoods: How We Lost Them & How We Can Get Them Back: A summary of the history of community
development, how we lost our way, and how we can return to the walkable
tradition.
Healthy
People, Healthy Streets, Healthy Communities: Fighting obesity and other health
problems with urban design.
Pedestrian
Design Principles: An
introductory kick-off for creating a pedestrian master plan.
Bicycle
Transportation Design Principles: An
introductory kick-off for creating a bicycle master plan.
Protecting
Neighborhood Quality of Life: An
overview of strategies.
Road
"Diets": Improving streets by narrowing them.
Creating a Community Vision:
Essential elements for creating a vision.
Forgiving
Streets vs. Attentive Streets: The need for a change in the street
design paradigm.
A
Recipe for Addressing a Downtown Parking Problem: Downtowns need to
use parking spaces more efficiently. It all starts with a downtown vision.
Electronic Signs: Regulatory
options needed to control this emerging threat to the character of communities.
Great Streets, Great Neighborhoods: A recipe for creating healthy streets and
healthy neighborhoods.
