Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of late 19th-century observations on street railway systems, electric and otherwise, from cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe in the context of their development as a form of public transport. It provides insight into the ways this technology was shaping urban life and municipal government in that era, and explores the challenges and opportunities presented by the new technology. The author examines how to regulate private ownership, advocates for municipal ownership of tracks and public roads, explores how companies might be taxed, and shares international case studies of different approaches. A valuable resource for legal scholars, this book provides a lens into the history of urban planning and transportation, and an in-depth examination of the tensions between corporate and public interests.
