Description:
Robert Moses once said "cities are created by and for traffic" and urged that highways go through cities, not around them. This session reviewed how his ideas impacted cities across the nation, from New York to New Orleans. In an era of funding concerns and global climate change, this discussion examines what a balanced transportation system looks like.
