    Measuring Urban Design Qualities: An Illustrated Field Manual
    (2005) Clemente, Otto; Ewing, Reid
    This manual is the product of nearly a year and a half of research on urban design qualities related to walkability. It builds on a growing body of evidence that links the built environment to active living. This manual will provide a qualitative introduction to several key urban design qualities from the urban design literature, and then will provide guidance on how to objectively measure each quality for a typical street.
