Abstract :
In the 1970s, when Paul Rudolphʹs Lower Manhattan Expressway project was featured on the cover of Reyner Banhamʹs Megastructure, no urban scheme was complete without a rapid transit system running through it. Today, cities are serviced and connected by a range of technologies. Architect and technology-transfer enthusiast Oliver Houchell talks about the need to use these to increase mobility and expand capacity into and between the worldʹs megalopoli.
