Résumé:
Fighting Traffic offers a new look at both the origins of the automotive city in America and how social groups shape technological change. To accommodate automobiles, the American city required not only a physical change but also a social one: before the city could be reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as places where motorists belonged.
