- The first book-length, comparative historical study (256 pages) of the advent of mass automobility and its effects on cities in Britain and Japan. Based on a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust in 2012, the research involved working on sources in 7 Japanese (Tokyo, Nagoya, Saitama) and 10 British archives; many of the Japanese-language sources have never been translated before. The complexity of the project was augmented by the need to establish equivalent data for Britain and Japan as a basis for a generative, cross-cultural comparison of how mass motorisation became embedded in different urban settings, East and West.
