Roadways for People: Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering by Lynn Peterson (review).

"Roadways for People: Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering" by Lynn Peterson is a book that challenges traditional transportation planning practices and offers a new approach centered around community engagement and equity. The author argues that transportation planning should prioritize the needs and values of the community rather than relying solely on technical engineering solutions. The book includes case studies, personal reflections, and recommendations for transportation professionals to broaden their perspectives and collaborate with diverse voices. While the book focuses on local community-based planning, the author acknowledges the challenges of implementing this approach within the wider top-down planning system in the United States.
