Descriere
Where People Live: Essays on Transportation, the Environment, and Quality of Life elucidates Poulits philosophical insights, professional observations, calculations and personal review of urban planning research based upon many years as a leading French authority on transportation. Poulit observes that people, regardless of a transportation systems quality, speed or scope, travel about the same time on average to reach destinations every day. Nonetheless, an improved or further-reaching transportation infrastructure would allow them to reach new, additional and more distant destinations, improving job and leisure time prospects within that same travel time. The end result would be more wealth for everyone--workers, employers and the nation in terms of higher GNP. According to Poulit, access to destinations is tantamount to a creation of value. Ecology also is crucial. Fighting for a preserved planet and preserving the economic efficiency of humankind go hand in hand.
