Title: An international sourcebook of automobile dependence in cities, 1960-1990
First published: 1999
Description: "Everyday, in every city of the world, planners, policy makers, environmentalists, academics, transportation professionals and local communities must deal with the vexed question of how best to provide for urban transportation needs, how to better balance private, public and non-motorized modes and how to ensure that urban land use and transportation planning are working together to create a more livable and economically effective city.

An International Sourcebook of Automobile Dependence in Cities 1960-1990 provides the most comprehensive set of time series data and analyses on these important subjects that is available today. It spans 46 cities in the US, Australia, Canada, Europe and Asia, covering the widest possible range of data on the land use and transportation systems, energy use and economic and environmental impacts of transportation that has been assembled to date. It also contains a set of colored maps for each city outlining territorial boundaries, the extent of urbanization, and all rail, busway and freeway systems.

This Sourcebook is a must for every individual and organisation wanting to better understand and respond to the urban transportation debate."--BOOK JACKET.
