Designing Dog-Friendly Cities: An Urban Design and Management Guide for Paws and People

This book is both a manifesto for cultural change and a design manual. It makes the case that designing dog-friendly cities makes urban spaces safer, greener, and more compassionate for all. From green corridors connecting dog parks that serve as both active transportation routes and biodiversity pathways, to shaded trails serving as cooling corridors for the elderly, dog-friendly cities are more livable for all. With practical case studies from international contexts and evidence-based recommendations, Designing Dog-Friendly Cities is an essential resource for planners, architects, and anyone interested in building more compassionate and inclusive urban environments.
