Before his twenty-four year tenure in the senate representing New York state, Daniel Patrick Moynihan was the director of the joint MIT-Harvard Center for Urban Studies, where he was an early critic of the rapid highway development in the post-war period. He explains this position in a essay titled "New Roads and Urban Chaos" which was published in the New York bi-weekly ​The Reporter in 1960. ​You can view it here.

Picture
Former New York City traffic commissioner Sam Schwartz' 2015 book Street Smart ​(Amazon) chronicles his unorthodox work over the past four decades in the field of transportation engineering, and provides much needed historical context to explain the anomaly of our current automobile-centric culture, as well as convincing arguments why this needs to change. His firm Sam Schwartz Engineering is actively engaged in this project across the globe. 

Below you can download a document the firm has released with the self-explanatory title: "Steps Toward a Walkable Community". View it here.
