More than five decades have passed since Jane Jacobs wrote her classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and since a front page headline in the New York Times read, "Cars Choking Cities as 'Urban Sprawl' Takes Over." Yet sprawl persists, and not by mistake. It happens…
"A witty, readable, and highly original tour through the history of America's suburbs and cities to uncover the human impulses that keep sprawl spreading." "More than five decades have passed since Jane Jacobs wrote her classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and s…
Documents the worsening transport crisis and differences among countries in their urban transport and land-use systems. The focus is on public policies to deal with urban transport problems. Through case studies, the book seeks to evaluate the effectivenes.
One of the latest efforts aimed at revolutionizing the pavement design and analysis procedures is the National Cooperative for Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 1-37A (Development of the 2002 Guide for the Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures). One signific…
The need to evacuate some cities is always there, due to natural disasters, war, or hazard materials or gases presence, and the privilege of hosting a special event is sought by almost every city in the world. During all this, the roads and all the accessible routes will be high…
This thesis examines traffic congestion in twentieth-century London. Ideas about movement, mobility and circulation in the capital's streets intersect with a broad range of discourses and practices, from planning to policing, and from engineering to economics. Within these disco…
Average annual daily traffic (AADT) is important in transportation engineering and planning, and although the State of Louisiana collects AADT on a regular basis on state-maintained highways, most parishes and smaller municipalities do not have the resources to collect AADT freq…
