«Street Smart» is the essay on transport economics and privatization edited by Gabriel Roth, published by Routledge in hardcover (581 pages, in English).
The book examines the privatization of roads, both in theory and in practice, and argues that poor road conditions and urban congestion are due to misguided incentives in government decision-making. The contributors identify at least four possible roles for private companies, from managing public facilities to full private ownership. It includes contemporary examples of road pricing and outsourcing in Singapore, Southern California, Scandinavia, Bergen and London.
Collective work edited by Gabriel Roth, with a foreword by Mary E. Peters, published in the series «Independent Studies in Political Economy».
Recommended for urban transport professionals, economists and public policy makers interested in the debate on infrastructure privatization.
