My university work going back to the early sixties was in the field of
development economics, and so it seems only right that as I work on my new
book, "Getting Around: On Cities, Indolence, Complexity and Equity" I keep
at least some of th
is in mind. The book is in fact a strategic rethink of the most important
things I have observed and learned over forty years of international work in
the field of transport and cities -- so it seems like a good idea if I can
at least from time to time get my head out of the pure transport and
mobility perspective, and keep in mind what the development economics
approach has to offer by way of broader horizons and ideas. It is a
wonderful, rich and highly diversified field, and if it has lost some of its
shine in the last couple of decades, let me assure you that those working in
the field are just gathering their strength to make a new round of
contributions and impacts.

So with that in mind, I have just today opened a new focus forum in Facebook
that if you are interested you can find at

start to have a vigorous life of its own. Have a look and make up your mind
for yourself.
