City Limits

More about the book

The book explores the detrimental impact of urban highways on American cities, particularly in Texas, where residents face displacement and increased segregation due to expansion projects. It highlights personal stories of those affected, such as families losing homes and community resources. Journalist Megan Kimble examines the historical context of these highways and presents alternative solutions, including highway removal, which has revitalized cities like San Francisco and Rochester. Through compelling storytelling, the book critiques the unsustainable nature of current transportation policies and advocates for a more connected future.
