Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation

SCI Research Associate and University of Oregon Professor of City & Regional Planning, Gerardo F. Sandoval, recently released a timely new book, Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation. Part of publisher Routledge's Equity, Justice and Sustainable City series, this edited volume provides multiple perspectives on re-designing cities for people on bikes with a lens of equitable planning, policy, and advocacy.  Along with Dr. Sandoval, co-editors Aaron Golub (Portland State University), Melody L. Hoffmann (Anoka Ramsey Community College), and Adonia E. Lugo (California State University-Los Angeles) drew from multiple disciplines to provide a timely perspective on how cities’ increasing move to enhancing their bicycle transportation systems can do so in a way that serves all community members. For more information on the book, including ordering options in hard copy or electronic versions, visit Routledge online.  Congratulations to Dr. Sandoval and his colleagues!
 
Bike Transportation Book Cover
"This book may indeed help start a movement for inclusive, equitable bicycle justice. Grounded in clear thinking and strong examples, this unique collection offers a probing assessment of both the tendency to stereotype "deserving" bicyclists, marginalizing others, and the patently inequitable distribution of public investments in bicycle infrastructure." – June M. Thomas, Centennial Professor, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, The University of Michigan, USA
