The interstate highway system has had a powerful and continuing impact on America's economy and society. This assessment of the planning of the interstates explores the complex interaction between engineering design and politics in the creation of the system. In addition to providing an historical portrait of the process, the book addresses contemporary policy issues as well, assessing the national debate raging over the shape transportation should take in the 21st century.
