This title was first published in 2003. Suburbanizing the Masses examines how collective forms of transport have contributed to the spatial and social evolution of towns and cities in various countries since the mid nineteenth century. Divided into two sections, the volume develops first the classic tradition on transport and the city, public transport's 'impact' on urban development. 'This is a magnificient book and a source for the development of many channels of further research, as well as being a lesson in the sources to which the various writers have turned.' Road & Road Transport '... well illustrated and wide-ranging...' The Journal of Transport History '... a useful cross-cultural treatment of an important topic. The volume is relevant not only to urban history but to policy analysis, urban planning, and urban geography and sociology.' Technology and Culture
