Taking South Africa as a case study, this book puts forward an innovative holistic view of urban movement and transportation. It argues that movement is not an end in itself, but simply one element of urban public structure. Its key issue therefore is not how to improve transportation, but how transportation can best be used to improve overall urban performance.
