Investigates the implementation and effects of new technologies in transportation planning and infrastructure building
Analyzes the major threats to urban transportation and infrastructure in the 21st century
Further investigates the half-century of urban transportation policy in the U.S. and issues like climate change, energy, congestion, and private vs. public funding

This book explores climate change responsiveness policies for cities and discusses why they have been slow to gain traction despite having been on the international agenda for the last 30 years. The contributing role of cities in accentuating the effects of climate change is increasingly demonstrated in the literature, underscoring the unsustainable models on which urban life has been made to thrive.
