Abstract:

The urban planning provisions of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962 were pivotal in the transition of the highway program from a rurally oriented, civil engineering–based activity to a new framework that had a major urban component and that was multimodal, interdisciplinary, and involved local officials. The authors present the developments, influences, and workings that have shaped the practice of metropolitan transportation planning.
