[sustran] Re: Guardian article--more thoughts

[Lee Schipper]

Than ks Zvi .Eric can you post this link on the other fora. 

This article by Waldman started showing a woman bearing  a large jar on
her head walking near a superhiway, a perfect emblem of the dangers
of building fast roads for a few without regard for the many.

I had posted the text of Amy Waldmans NY Times series on Transportation

in India to a chat-board some time ago. The original forum was
corrupted 
and had to be completely reinstalled, with many threads being
vaporized, 
but this link 
<http://www.urbanphoto.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=604&sid=5fd42cd546a33469f483046a7b490526>

seems to work. It was a very interesting series....

Best regards,

Zvi

SUSTRAN-DISCUSS is a forum devoted to discussion of people-centred,
equitable and sustainable transport with a focus on developing countries
(the 'Global South'). Because of the history of the list, the main focus
is on urban transport policy in Asia.
