NEW Book Club Meeting: The Truth About America's Highways

What would it actually take to change our systems?
Every major American city has a highway tearing through its center — and most of us in transportation have spent our careers working in their shadow. In City Limits, Megan Kimble traces how urban highways were sold as progress, then delivered displacement, disinvestment, and more traffic. Through on-the-ground reporting from Texas, where billion-dollar expansions are still being pushed through neighborhoods today, she makes the case that the path forward runs through equity, not asphalt.
For those of us working in planning, mobility, and TDM, this book puts a human face on the systems we work within — and challenges us to ask what it would take to actually change them.
Join us September 2 at 2 p.m. ET for a discussion on the history that shaped our cities and what a more just infrastructure future could look like.
