Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Brings the story of the US Interstates into the twenty-first century. It includes an account of the destruction of homes, businesses, and communities as the urban expressways destroyed large portions of the nation's central cities. It analyses the subsequent urban freeway revolts. Their detailed research brings to light significant evidence of federal action to tame the spreading freeway revolts, curb the authority of state highway engineers, and promote the devolution of transportation decision making.
