CharretteCenter Inc has developed a new web research and design tool for urbanists called StreetSections.com. It features a gallery of street photos and cross-sectional diagrams from around the world and an easy to use street section editor for designers.

At StreetSections.com, you can browse through a growing World Gallery of photos and crosssections of wonderful streets and places. Or, you can quickly diagram your own street designs using the ground-breaking StreetSections Editor tool. If you need to share your new street designs, it’s a snap to instantly web publish using the Project Gallery service (coming soon). Please try it out and tell us what you think.


Call for Entries: Best Streets


Half of the effort in creating new places is understanding what makes great places work. Documenting and publishing wonderful streets furthers the understanding of great urbanism for everyone. All you need is your camera, walking shoes, and computer and you can publish YOUR favorite streets to the growing World Gallery.

  • free automatic entry of your documented streets into the first StreetSections.com competition – details soon to be announced.
  • published credit for all streets that you document and add to the World Gallery.
  • 25% off the Street Designer and Project Gallery services through 12/31/2003 – the StreetSections.com start up period.

    To begin, follow these simple steps:
  • Visit www.streetsections.com and get acquainted with the tool.
  • Register (FREE) with us to obtain a username and password.
