Transport Planning (eBook, ePUB)

Vision and Practice

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1981, this volume provides a systematic and detailed critique of the practice of transport planning. It shows how past transport policies blighted cities and countryside alike, led to increased death and injury on the roads and offered the whole of the motorized world as a hostage to the oil-producing countries.
