Transport: Then, now, and Tomorrow

Ralph Harrington

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: A historical survey of transport to demonstrate that transport has always been recognised as of paramount importance for the wellbeing of the whole community, that a combination of collective and individual enterprise has always been needed to make transport systems work, and that developments in transport today represent continuity with the past. Also, the idea that transport is not a purely utilitarian matter, it is also an expression of freedom. [The Worshipful Company of Carmen Lecture delivered at the Royal Society of Arts, London].
