Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution and challenges of urban transportation in the early 20th century, a period marked by rapid population growth and the rise of new technologies. The author, a keen observer of his time, argues that the development of city transit systems must be guided by public welfare, not profit motives. He traces the transition from horse-drawn carriages to electric streetcars and then to underground and elevated train lines, highlighting the impact of these innovations on urban life. He criticizes the approach of private transit companies, which prioritize short-term profits over long-term city planning, leading to congestion and an unbalanced development. The author proposes a model of urban planning that emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and accessible transit system that is designed to serve the entire city, rather than just a select few. This vision for urban transportation is not only about efficiency, but also about creating a more equitable and livable city for all its residents. By advocating for municipal ownership and control of transit systems, this book offers a powerful critique of the limitations of private enterprise in shaping public spaces and serving the needs of a growing population. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332226849_0
