dc.description.abstractThe public right-of-way (ROW) makes up nearly one-third of all the public space in cities. With the majority global population expected to reside in cities by 2050, climate change posing a significant threat to urban residents and infrastructure, impervious urban surface impacts on water quality, and knowing traffic fatalities in the US reached a 16-year high, cities must reconsider how this public good can serve people and the environment over to car-centric mobility. Using a segment of Georgia Avenue NW in Washington, DC, this thesis removes automobiles from the ROW to demonstrate how Green Complete Streets, which prioritizes sustainable transportation and urban water quality, can support urban livability on a corridor scale.en_US
