Book Overview

This book provides a social and technical history of traffic congestion in London and explores how traffic congestion is created, reduced, and replicated. It draws on case studies of traffic interventions to trace the relationship between the material cultures, infrastructures, politics and power of London's traffic problem. This book challenges the tendency of some commentators to see this as a recent occurrence. It is a welcome addition to literature on the history of the road and driving in Britain.
