- This 100,000-word book offers the first comparative study of mass motorization, its impact on cities and overall environmental consequences. It is the product of over 10 years research and planning, some of which was supported by a 2011 Leverhulme Trust major grant, Motor Cities: Automobility and the Urban Environment in Nagoya and Birmingham, c. 1955-1973. The volume draws on extensive archival research undertaken both in Britain and Japan; documentary records from departments of national and local government are used, as well as film, photographs, magazines and posters.
