"Highways to Nowhere" diagnoses the condition of city transportation in five representative American cities - Flint, Michigan; Dayton, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Atlanta, Georgia; and Washington, D.C. - and finds cases of hardening of the arteries. For the past twenty years, city, state, and federal governments have sought, in the building of highways in, around, and through cities, the panacea for many problems. Instead, their highways have only attracted more cars - and more pollution - into the city and made it easy for the middle class - and thus the cities' tax base - to escape. Mass transit systems have not been given a fair chance to compete, and the poor are trapped in their own neighborhoods. "Highways to Nowhere" is must reading for everyone who wants his city to survive. It is an eloquent plea to citizens and responsible city officials to take everyone's transit needs into account and to save our cities from being strangled by their own highways.
