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. It was not an evolution but a bloody and sometimes violent revolution.

Résumé:
Established as beachheads of foreign influence along coastal China during the mid-nineteenth century, the twelve Treaty Ports – Shanghai, Dalian, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hankou, Harbin, Nanjing, Ningbo, Shantou, Tianjin, Tsingtao and Xiamen – can be considered from a number of perspectives. This book examines the evolving contextual changes in the Treaty Ports over the past 150 years. It illustrates through writing and line sketches, the imprints on the modernizing cities of older places and spaces from these early times, which have left a residue of physical traces in terms of plan forms, streets and building groups.
