Description

San Francisco's struggle to redefine its urban landscape is a complex and contentious issue. This book examines how the city's planning and advocacy establishment is rethinking its reliance on automobiles, but also navigating ideologically charged debates over street space, public policy, and social justice.

The author argues that understanding ideology is crucial in the quest for sustainable cities, and that three competing viewpoints - progressive, neoliberal, and conservative - dominate the contemporary discourse on urban mobility. Through a detailed case study of San Francisco, Jason Henderson sheds light on the challenges and trade-offs involved in creating more livable and transit-oriented cities.
