Rethinking Urban Transport After Modernism: Lessons from South Africa (Transport and Mobility Series) - Softcover

Rethinking Urban Transport After Modernism (Paperback)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. For the last seven decades, urban settlement policy worldwide has been increasingly dominated by modernist precepts and by urban decisions made in discipline-specific silos. The urban management consequences have been invariably negative, with increasing sprawl, fragmentation and separation resulting in a wide range of environmental, social and economic problems. This book explores the role of movement in a more integrated approach to urban settlement, and how thinking, policies and actions need to change. South Africa is used as a particularly good case study, since patterns of sprawl, fragmentation and separation have been exacerbated by apartheid, while recent legislation has demanded a reversal of these tendencies. Taking South Africa as a case study, this book puts forward an innovative holistic view of urban movement and transportation. It argues that movement is not an end in itself, but simply one element of urban public structure. Its key issue therefore is not how to improve transportation, but how transportation can best be used to improve overall urban performance.
