Is there a book that would explain how we got from carless cities to dependence on cars under 100 years?

The Space Syntax Lab at the #BartlettSchoolOfArchitecture #UCL is holding a bi-weekly online seminar on zoom to present latest research findings on the relationship between configurations of space and social outcomes, curated by my colleague @kimonkrenz

Previous seminars are on our Youtube channel - they're a treasure trove full of interesting research approaches

California is trying to address #environmentaljustice by requiring cities and towns there to include it it in their city plans.

But of 500 city plans analyzed by researchers, only 3 explicitly address racism. On the other hand, 360 plans discuss golf.
