The Road to Inequality shows how policies that shape geographic
space change our politics, focusing on the effects of the largest
public works project in American history: the federal highway
system. For decades, federally subsidized highways have selectively
facilitated migration into fast-growing suburbs, producing an
increasingly non-urban Republican electorate. This book examines
the highway programs' policy origins at the national level and
traces how these intersected with local politics and interests to
facilitate complex, mutually-reinforcing processes that have shaped
America's growing urban-suburban divide and, with it, the politics
of metropolitan public investment. As Americans have become more
polarized on urban-suburban lines, attitudes towards transportation
policy - a once quintessentially 'local' and non-partisan policy
area - are now themselves driven by partisanship, endangering
investments in metropolitan programs that provide access to
opportunity for millions of Americans.
