The "battle for right-of-way" in the 1920s saw the demise of streetcars and transformed America's streets from a multiuse resource for socializing, commerce, and public mobility into exclusive arteries for private automobiles. The subsequent destruction of urban transit systems and post WWII suburbanization of America enabled by the Interstate Highway System and the GI Bill forever changed the way Americans commuted. But today, for the first time in history, and after a hundred years of steady increase, automobile driving is in decline. This isn't a consequence of higher gas prices, or even the economic downturn, but rather a collective decision to be a lot less dependent on cars--and if American cities want to keep their younger populations, they need to plan accordingly."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 388.40973 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 388.40973 Sc Damaged Add Copy to MyList
