Carmageddon by Daniel Knowles

How Cars Make Life Worse and What to Do About It

A global investigation into how car-dependent design came to shape cities and daily life, documenting the costs in congestion, deaths, pollution, climate damage, sprawl, and social isolation. Drawing on case studies from around the world, it traces the political and economic choices that entrenched this system and the false promises that sustained it. It concludes with practical steps—better transit, safer streets for walking and cycling, and land-use reform—to make communities healthier, fairer, and more prosperous.
