- 'Ring Road' shares commonality with chapter 6 of 'Automobility and the City in 20th Century Britain and Japan' and 'People and the car', submitted to REF2014. The focus of 'Ring road' is the end of urban modernism in 1970s Britain. It engages with a different set of historical questions from the other outputs. Automobility is transnational and the focus is about similarities and differences between the two cultures. The analysis in Chapter 6 (c. 8% of the book) is centred on the protest deriving from air pollution in the two societies, which is distinct from the story in 'Ring road'.
