Roadkill is a bold, eye-opening exploration of how cars have shaped and restricted our cities, health, finances, and freedoms.
About this Event

The car has been marketed as a symbol of “freedom.”, but in Roadkill Henrietta Moore & Arthur Kay argue that it has actually hemmed in our cities and incrementally restricted our choices.

Inside the book:

Jaw-dropping, real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars, including the fact that cars have killed 60 to 80 million people since their invention, more than the deaths of WWI and WWII combined.

Philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike.

A catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors.

Practical recommendations for all contexts: for you, your family, your neighborhood, your town or city, and your national government.

Critiques of the myths around electric cars and autonomous cars, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the implications of this emerging frontier.

Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers—anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.
