Carmageddon: How Cars Make Life Worse

Journalist Daniel Knowles talks about his new book 'Carmageddon - How Cars Make Life Worse and What To Do About It'. Daniel tells Adrian Goldberg that, “car manufacturers are really not much different to the oil industry or big tobacco”.  He explores the racialised road building helped segregate the US, discusses how UK cities were rebuilt around after the Second World War in ways that militated against pedestrians; and looks at the urban areas pointing the way to a car free future.   Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg. Funded by subscriptions to the Byline Times. Made by We Bring Audio for Byline Times.
