clive, I'm reading Janette Sadik-Khan's "Street Fight" -- her book about her time as transportation head of NYC, building bike lanes, bikeshare, and pedestrian avenues
She prints this "city of the future" model from the 1939 World's Fair
Massive highways circling mammoth buildings; virtually no non-car routes; hilariously few trees
I'd love to read about: How did this become the vision of "the future" back in 1939?
What are some good books on that? Any recommendations, I'm all ears!
