We live in a world and in a sector in which not quite reliable
information and rather too easy thinking often abound. Thus while the
main objective of World Streets is to provide reliable access to what
is going on at the leading edge of thinking, policy, and practice in
the field of sustainable transportation worldwide, we also at the same
time have an obligation not to lure our readers into thinking too
simply about these issues and falling for what they may at first glance
think to be "solutions" to their problems and aspirations.






The challenge to sustainable transportation reform is already tough
enough, without being encumbered by half baked ideas and wishful
thinking. We can do better than that.






This is where our network of international correspondents and
contributors comes into play. And since they are not only knowledgeable
about the sector, but are also close to the cities and streets in
question, they help us to develop more balanced approach to reporting
on the sector. We count on them for this, and indeed they have been
invited to participate because in every case we know them to be
independent critical thinkers.






We invite you to review the latest listing that appears under the
Correspondents rubric on the masthead to your left, where you will see
their names, cities and countries in each case. It is a very impressive
group. If you wish to know more about them, all you have to do is click
their entry which will in each case take you to further information on
their background, work and accomplishments.
