Summary

Megacity Mobility Culture published by Springer goes into how roads are laid in megacities. After White flight, some companies set up shop in the city where property was cheaper and roads were abundant. However, many high paid workers had moved to the suburbs. “Mobility in Atlanta suffers from an abundance of vehicles on the roads and a scarcity of public transport services. Atlanta built roads to serve its low-density suburbs, and refused to invest in public transport.”(Paget-Seekins, 2013) The book goes into how redlined neighborhoods were used as pathways for highways resulting in higher air pollution from traffic and dirty soil from construction.
