Review # 1 was written on 2007-09-22 00:00:00 Terrance Bonds Safdie has the kind of imagination needed to confront our automobile addiction. Safdie is an architect, and so a creative who dreams up all kinds of solutions - some highly practical and others wholly impractical. Also, he starts from the assumption that we'll never abolish the car, and argues that manage our car problems (pollution, space, mortality), we have to accept that.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-01-05 00:00:00 Gerald Pigg The first 1/2 is good for orienting yourself in the pedestrian realm, but the latter 1/2 is basically a pitch for car-sharing or the pod-people of PRT. The word 'bike' appears twice, and isn't really thinking of the car post-auto, but post-privately owned auto. Too bad they wasted such a good title on a mediocre book.
