Sustainability and Cities:
Overcoming Automobile Dependence

by Peter Newman; Jeffrey Kenworthy

Very readable yet full of technical specifics, this book is an outstanding reference and/or textbook on urban design and transportation planning. The authors make the case that the essential character of a city's land use results from how it manages its transportation, and that only by reducing our automobile dependence will we be able to successfully accommodate all elements of the sustainability agenda.
