Reviews

In this timely and thought provoking book, John Sutton questions our ability to tackle the unprecedented transport and mobility challenges we face with policies that are in the final analysis not fit for purpose. In identifying the 'policy gaps' that have arisen, he presents policy makers and planners with fresh insights and provides a powerful framework for a much needed new approach. - David Gillingwater, Honorary Fellow in Transport Studies, Loughborough University Gridlock presents an imaginative and controversial alternative to traditional solutions that don't work. This new approach is based on research beyond transport to include insights from other disciplines and case studies across the world. Gridlock is essential reading for students and anyone concerned about the future of our cities. - Kris Beuret OBE, Director, Social Research Associates
