The book traces how systems are innovated, planned and adapted, deployed and expanded, and reach maturity, where they may either be maintained in a polished obsolesce often propped up by subsidies, be displaced by competitors, or be reorganized and renewed. An array of examples supports the idea that modern policies are built from past experiences. William Garrison and David Levinson assert that the planning (and control) of nonlinear, unstable processes is today's central transportation pTransportation and stateUnited StatesHistoryTransportation and stateGreat BritainHistoryElectronic books.Transportation and stateHistory.Transportation and stateHistory.388.0973Garrison William L.1924-989934Levinson David M.1967-989935MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453443503321The transportation experience2264215UNINA
