Yet even as politicians and planners look ahead, there remain critical insights to be gleaned from the history of urban mobility and the unsustainable practices that still impact our everyday lives. United by their pursuit of a \"usable past,\" the studies in this interdisciplinary collection consider the ecological, social, and economic aspects of urban mobility, showing how historical inquiry can make both conceptual and practical contributions to the projects of sustainability and urban renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRuth Oldenziel\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor in the History Division of the Technology, Innovation, and Society Department at Eindhoven University of Technology, where she heads the research program \"Sustainable Urban Mobility, 1880s-Present.\" She has published widely in the areas of American, transatlantic, gender, and technology studies, most recently as co-author of the volumes \u003cem\u003eCycling Cities: The European Experience\u003c\/em\u003e (2016) and \u003cem\u003eEngineering the Future, Understanding the Past\u003c\/em\u003e (2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 13, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783364575520,"sku":"9781800736504","price":59.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/443e53fc720911140e075ab8f11d9194.webp?v=1780585484","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-u-turn-to-the-future-sustainable-urban-mobility-since-1850-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
