"We are over the moon from your visit here… You’ve got everyone talking and saying, ‘What if?’, which was exactly what we hoped for. There were people in the room who we initially thought would never come, and I watched in amazement as they nodded in agreement at different points of your presentation. You educated, entertained, and electrified our audience, and now it’s on us to translate it into action!"

- Micaela Porter

Librarian, New Canaan, Connecticut

"I sat there with my usual skepticism that I always apply to new information, and the evidence that Jeff Speck presented was absolutely undeniable.  Really, he did change my heart and mind on [a complete streets approach to planning]."

- Mayor Bill Gordon

Midland, Ontario

"[Jeff’s] presentation knocked our socks off. He is as gifted a speaker as he is a writer, and his talk had the audience laughing and sighing in equal measure. I was struck by how many people told me later that he had completely shifted their line of thinking on things like one-way streets, bike lanes, and parking. His observations created a buzz in our already buzzing town, in a way I haven’t seen in my nearly 20 years of working on public issues in the city."

- Monica Kile

Executive Director, Preserve the 'Burg

"Jeff took just a few hours to synthesize a lot of information, and then gave us an hour and a half presentation on his perspective. His presentation was entertaining, informative and incredibly insightful. Jeff hit all the 'nails on the head' of what we as elected officials have been grappling with in our downtown."

- Michelle Pirone Lanmbros

Council Member, Princeton, New Jersey
