Description
"This book makes the case that the most significant limitation on transportation in cities is space, and that each mode of urban transportation-pedestrians, bikes, micromobility, cars, trains, and transit-has inherent geometric properties that no amount of policy or design can change. It takes a comprehensive look at each of those modes of transportation, considering not just the theory but the actual practice of how it fits into cities in the United States.
