Urban Transportation: Perspectives and Prospects

Front Cover
Herbert S. Levinson, Robert A. Weant
Eno Foundation for Transportation, 1982 - Local transit - 414 pages
This monograph provides a broad look at urban transportation issues, approaches, and opportunities in North American cities. Articles are assembled from many sources and present a wide range of views. They include many of the significant works published over the past decade. They reflect basic issues and themes, and depict a "cross section" of the urban transport field in terms of author, subject, perspective, and geography. As a result, the reader is provided with differing, sometimes contrasting, points of view as they relate to myths and realities, issues and impacts, challenges and conflicts, planning and policy, public and private transport. The introductory remarks for each chapter provide an overview and interpretation of the articles that follow.
