Roadways for People

“After World War II, we asked engineers to reshape a continent from the top-down. Today, we ask them to do the same, but this time from the bottom-up in collaboration with local communities. Roadways for People is a long overdue shift in thinking.”–Charles Marohn, author of “Strong Towns” and “Confessions of a Recovering Engineer”“Roadways for People gives an honest depiction of how our industry historically has negatively impacted communities of color–by design, process, and all too often by intent. But most importantly, it lifts up the examples of communities and transportation professionals that are doing amazing work together–to restore and repair past harms while also creating thriving places that provide better outcomes for all.”–Beverly A. Scott, community builder; CEO, Beverly Scott Associates, LLC
