Urban motorways are among the greatest - and least forgiven -
legacies of post-war planning in Britain. Ringways explores the
genesis, development and collapse of London's controversial plans
for nearly 500 miles of highways, to understand why such ambitious
and unlamented programmes gained widespread support and triggered
urban uproar. Combining a review of the wider intellectual climate
with extensive archival research, Ringways asks how far the rise of
the urban motorway can be attributed to urban contingency as
opposed to far-seeing planners; how ideas of the environment
changed as proposals were debated; and whether their fall was the
work of popular revolt or expert regret.
