[sustran] China

Hi,
Reading the recent articles on the tightening of the Shanghai bike 
ban, we here at Car Busters magazine thought that it would be 
interesting to publish a story (or interview) about the current situation 
in China regarding the increases in private car use.  

Of course, this is quite general, as the situation in Beijing, for 
example, is likely radically different than the one in Shanghai.  Still, 
we were hoping that someone on this listserv might be able to direct 
us towards people - NGO workers, activists, academics, etc. - who 
we could correspond with and who could talk to us about some of the 
issues around car ownership (e.g. bike use, urban development, 
cultural/economic/historical shifts/influencing factors. etc.).  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

happy new year,
Steven Logan
Co-Editor, Car Busters magazine
