These expert interviews are interwoven with the stories of real people working to make their communities safer. Digging deep into the root causes of traffic violence, the filmmakers engage a diverse array of experts including street historian Peter Norton, city planner Jeff Speck, and urban design expert Mikael Colville-Andersen. “The Street Project” is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.
