About this listen

Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Professor Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, explores the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness.

While the car has been marketed as a symbol of "freedom", the authors convincingly argue that it has limited the flourishing of our cities and restricted our choices. How can we fix our toxic relationship with cars? The authors offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms.

Inside the book, you'll find real-world examples of the human and monetary costs imposed by cars; philosophical arguments explaining how car-centric cities restrict the freedoms of drivers and non-drivers alike; a catalogue of ideas and approaches for urban designers, transport planners, policymakers, and mayors; and much more.

Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, drivers, environmentalists, urbanists, and policymakers―anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.
