Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and insightful analysis of the transportation challenges faced by Pittsburgh in the early 20th century, a period of rapid industrial growth and urban expansion that strained existing infrastructure. The author, a consulting engineer, was commissioned by the city to investigate and report on the complex web of issues surrounding the city's street railway system, steam railroads, and the need for new rapid transit solutions. The book delves into the intricacies of urban transportation systems, examining the historical development of Pittsburgh's transportation network, the challenges of managing a sprawling and interconnected system, and the emergence of a public demand for better service and regulation. Through extensive data analysis and comparisons with other American cities, the author explores the impact of political and economic factors on transportation, including the role of private capital, the regulation of service, and the complex interplay between public and private interests.
