Future Transport in Cities
12 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
A compatriot (and friend) of the late Reyner Banham challenges the American addiction to cars, and shows how they do it better in Curitiba, Hanover, and Portland, WA (to pick three of his many examples). It's a brilliant analysis of how things work in the real world and the promise of new technologies. Mandatory reading for Angelenos; buy an extra copy and try to instill a sense of guilt in a student driving her trophy SUV.
