While they have for the most part fallen out of favor among transportation planners and policy-makers who seek more sustainable, less-car dependent modes of travel, the share of urban travel carried by (increasingly congested) freeways today is greater than ever. This book tells the largely misunderstood story about how the United States came to make freeways the centerpiece of its urban transportation systems, and the crucial, and often overlooked, role of fiscal politics in bringing them about. This book helps readers understand the still-relevant possibilities of roads not taken in U.S. urban transportation planning over the past century, as well as the central role that fiscal politics plays in urban transportation right up to the present day"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Urban transportation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Urban transportation policy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Highway planning $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Urban policy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a City planning $z United States $x History. 650 6 $a Transports urbains $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Transports urbains $x Histoire. $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Routes $x Histoire. $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Politique urbaine $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 7 $a City planning $2 fast 650 7 $a Highway planning $2 fast 650 7 $a Urban policy $2 fast 650 7 $a Urban transportation $2 fast 650 7 $a Urban transportation policy $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 700 1 $a Morris, Eric A., $e author. 700 1 $a Taylor, Brian D. $q (Brian Deane), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brown, Jeffrey R. $t Drive for dollars $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2023 $z 9780197601549 $w (DLC) 2022029941 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240202024036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCD6FC7AC19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
