Twentieth-Century Sprawl —— Highways and the Reshaping of the American Landscape

----- 20世纪的蔓延：公路改变了美国

ISBN: 9780195189070 出版年：2004 页码：316 Gutfreund, Owen D Oxford University Press

Gutfreund uses a "follow the money" approach, showing how government policies subsidized suburban development and fueled a chronic nationwide dependence on cars and roadbuilding, with little regard for expense, efficiency, ecological damage, or social equity. Based on original research and vividly written, Twentieth-Century Sprawl brings to light the benefits and consequences of the spread of American highways and makes a major contribution to our understanding of issues that still plague our cities and suburbs today.
