Urban transportation: perspectives and prospects

Abstract

The articles assembled in this book deal with the problems and prospects of transportation in North American cities. They identify factors and forces that have shaped urban-transport decisions over the last decades - the changing preferences of the public and the changing role of government. Their authors discuss issues and problems, as well as challenges and priorities for urban transportation. Urban-transportation planning, development, operation and maintenance are expressed from various, often different viewpoints, enabling the reader to formulate perceptions of transportation's possibilities in tomorrow's metropolis. From a total of 59 articles, a separate abstract was prepared for each of the 9 articles that deal with energy aspects.
