For full information on World Transport Policy and Practice click here .
Contested Streets video offer:
Subscribers ordering before 31 March 2007 will receive a DVD with a full length documentary that explores the rich 
diversity of New York City street life before the introduction of automobiles -- and then goes on to show how one city can follow the example of other modern cities that have reclaimed their streets as vibrant public spaces. Contested Streets features footage of reclaimed streets in London, Paris and Copenhagen and interviews with New York and New Mobility savvy notables such as Ken Jackson, Mike Wallace, Walter Hook, Bob Kiley, Majora Carter, Kathryn Wylde, Enrique Pe๑alosa, Jan Gehl, Eric Britton, and many more -- who help us to make our way through the morass of problems, resistances and opportunities that all our cities face.

| Why subscribe and support the project? |
Just in case this is not immediately clear, pardon us if we list briefly the reasons why we think that you, if you are concerned about the problems set out here both in general and in the context of the cities closest to you, might want to give serious thought to getting behind this project:
- First and most immediately, because it puts into your hands a valuable, very low cost, potentially very high impact working tool for your city.
- Second, because you feel that your group or program can work with us and make use of our very "narrow" focus and capabilities to extend, perhaps sharpen and improve the impact of your own work.
- Third, because your subscription, your early financial support, will permit us to fund the important work behind this project.
- And finally as a public vote of confidence in the importance of these issues and your belief that we need to start to deal with them in practical terms as best we can. And right now!
This is as things stand today an entirely unfunded private effort of The Commons, and as we move ahead the only funding that we can count on will be what we receive from you and other supporters. Thus if your circumstances permit and you share these concerns and objectives, you may want to consider taking out a multi-year subscription.

| And finally, a word of thanks |
Finally a word of thanks. We have over the last three months received unsolicited contributions in significant amounts from a number of friends and colleagues who learned that the project was taking considerably more work, time and money than we had envisaged when we set off on this Odyssey at the beginning of 2006. They have through their generosity and indeed unexpected support allowed us to cover a portion of this overrun, and if the project is here and ready to go today, it is in large part thanks to them.
Thank you . . . Mikel Murga, Allen Damon, Donald Brackenbush, Wolfgang Zuckermann, Mariella Giannetti, Albert Hahn and Dorothy Kay Mohr. Your support when it counted will never be forgotten, and when this project takes off and begins to make its impact in cities and people's daily lives, you will be one of the reasons. In a world of indifference and surrender, you stepped up and make a difference. I thank you. But listen hard and you will hear other voices.
