Critics Review

“A compelling read, that flies through a vast range of ways that urban transport affects society and its space-time dimensions. It traces changes over time in technologies and economies to show how they have shifted roles of urban transport, viewed through an interdisciplinary lens that incorporates foundational economic theory.”

Corinne Mulley, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney, Australia
