Darrin Nordahl is the city designer at the Davenport Design Center. He has taught at the University of California, Berkeley, and his writings and designs have appeared in numerous publications.
"My Kind of Transit is the first volume I have come across that
comprehensively considers transit in terms of those factors that
actually determine whether or not people will choose to ride it.
Nordahl's humane, and even humanist, arguments recognize and
celebrate how transit, if properly designed, can be elevated in the
public esteem from loser cruiser to mode of choice. Please, if your
work deals in any way with planning or transportation, do us all a
favor and read his book."
--Jeff Speck, coauthor of "Suburban Nation"
"This unique work will inspire scholars and students to research
further on this essential and largely untreated topic. It will also
pop up on the shelves of those urbanists who ponder wistfully on
the loss of great city culture and vital urban social life and
imagine the emergence of a more beautiful, more convivial, and more
livable urban future."
--Susan Zielinski, University of Michigan
