A web site for researching wonderful streets ... and designing new places.
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.
