Reclaiming Our Cities & Towns:
Better Living with Less Traffic

by David Engwicht

www.newsociety.com/bookid/3984

Originally published in Australia, this book explains convincingly how having too many cars makes cities less livable for everyone, especially for the car-less. With the premise that cities developed in service of exchange, it deconstructs the myth that movement is key, and rebuilds a vision of the city that honors exchange without excessive movement. It is a must-read for all planners!
