The Urban Street Design and Mobility Standards Manual received the 2013 Transportation Best Program Award from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The manual built upon Nelson\Nygaard’s work for Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, a plan for a sustainable, post-petroleum capital. Nelson\Nygaard led the writing and editing of the manual, which provides clear, context-based design guidance for all streets in the Emirate, with an emphasis on safety, walkability, and connectivity.
