Haven’t read this one yet, but other Grescoe books have been immensely involving – like the man himself. Come on down to the Library on the evening of Monday, May 7.

UPDATE: Good feature in The Globe by Grescoe: Global Gridlock: How some cities tame it while others grind to a halt.
Plus a review of Staphanger: Why North America sucks at mass transit. Apparently, though, Grescoe likes SkyTrain:
He reserves top marks, however, for Vancouver’s SkyTrain, “a force multiplier” that dramatically reduces car-dependency: “The Vancouver model,” he writes, “which puts high-density residential and retail right up against high-capacity transit, is emerging as the one to beat.”
