What They're Saying
Critics Review
“At a time when we are defining how vision-led transport planning will be implemented in a UK context, this book offers a compelling argument to define restorative transport planning…. Davis’ manifesto is intended both as a challenge to professionals working in the sector and a call to action for a wider community planning audience.” – “Urban Design Journal”“A call to action and a practical approach to reconnecting and shaping communities based on principles of justice and equity. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Inclusive Transportation is a seminal and ground-breaking contribution to planning for American 21st century transportation needs and will be of special and particular value to readers with an interest in mass transit and urban planning.”– “Midwest Book Review”
