About the Book
Roadways for People lays the foundation for the conversation around transportation by, first and foremost, integrating the people who live in our cities and communities into the conversation. Only once we have carefully listened to the needs of the people can we employ our technical knowledge to make things work better for them.
Book Reviews
What people are saying about the book.
“Roadways for People gives an honest depiction of how our industry historically has negatively impacted communities of color—by design, process, and all too often, by intent. But most importantly, it lifts up the examples of communities and transportation professionals that are doing amazing work together—to restore and repair past harms while also creating thriving places that provide better outcomes for all.”
— Beverly A. Scott, community builder; CEO, Beverly Scott Associates, LLC
“After World War II, we asked engineers to reshape a continent from the top-down. Today, we ask them to do the same, but this time from the bottom-up in collaboration with local communities. Roadways for People is a long overdue shift in thinking.”
— Charles Marohn, author of Strong Towns and Confessions of a Recovering Engineer
