Street Smart: The Rise of Cities and the Fall of Cars

The "Revolution in How We Get From Place to Place" is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden truth behind America's dependency on cars and reveals why this trend is finally coming to an end.

Written by former Traffic Commissioner of New York City Sam Schwartz, this book provides a unique perspective on how American cities became so beholden to cars and why the current shift away from that trend will forever alter America's urban landscapes.

With wit and sharp insight, Schwartz explains how the internal combustion engine conquered America's streets in the 1920s and how this transformation has had far-reaching consequences for our cities and communities.

But there is hope - today, driving is in decline, and younger Americans are increasingly preferring active transportation choices like walking or cycling.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the future of urban mobility and how we can create more sustainable, livable cities for generations to come.
