"How are cities across the United States reclaiming their streets as more equitable and diverse public spaces for everyone? Reclaiming the Road combines the history of urban planning and street design standards with theoretical insights about mobility politics and struggles for access and equity. Reporting from the front lines of recent post-pandemic physical and cultural transformations of public space in nine major American cities, David L. Prytherch raises profound questions about what streets are for and how they might be equitably shared. The result is a fresh, hopeful vision for intersectional mobility justice and public placemaking." - Mimi Sheller, author of Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes   "David L. Prytherch gives a crisp, clear, and accessible narrative of the movement to reclaim public streets after one hundred years of domination by private automobile interests. He touches on many of the key players in this epic struggle, from traffic engineers to complete streets and mobility justice advocacy. Steering us through the politics of streets during the Covid-19 pandemic and recovery, this is a refreshingly innovative and optimistic book for anyone concerned about our urban mobility future." - Jason Henderson, coauthor of Street Fights in Copenhagen: Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City
