History in Print featuring ‘Power Moves’

In his book Power Moves: Transportation, Politics, and Development in Houston, the Kinder Institute’s Kyle Shelton examines the debates around highway and public transportation systems in Houston and shows how Houstonians helped shape the city’s growth during the planning and construction of the city’s transportation network. Power Moves also looks at the long-term results of choosing highways over other transit options and the challenges that present-day Houstonians face as they try to reshape neighborhoods and areas of the city around auto-based infrastructure. Shelton will be signing his book after his presentation. Power Moves will be available for purchase for $30 at the event.
