Transportation for livable cities

About this book

"The era of projects aimed at maximizing vehicular travel is being replaced by the broader goal of achieving livable cities: economically efficient, socially sound, and environmentally sustainable. This book explores the complex relationship between transportation and the character of cities and metropolitan regions." "Transportation for Livable Cities dispels the myths and emotional advocacies for or against freeways, rail transit, bicycles, and other modes. This book defines the policies necessary for achieving livable cities: the effective implementation of integrated intermodal transportation systems."--BOOK JACKET.
