Editorial Reviews

Mobility-as-a-Service is an opportunity to completely rethink our cities. Roads and parking lots can be repurposed or deconstructed and used for living spaces, playgrounds or denser mixed-use development and affordable housing. This book describes numerous approaches so that in the future we build our cities around people and not cars.
