John Pucher
John Pucher is a professor of urban planning and policy in the Edward J Bloustein School at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Mr. Pucher has done a great deal of research into what makes a community safer for cyclists and pedestrians, and at the same time more people friendly. He has become one of my heros in the planning world as of late. He recently gave a great talk to residents and students at the City Program at Simon Frasier University in British Columbia. The companion powerpoint presentation can be found on his Rutgers website. The film of the presentation takes just over an hour, but it is well worth your time.
