What is the path forward to contend with historic and contemporary harms of urban highways across the country, and to honor the needs and desires of contemporary residents? Insights from a conversation on the Cross Bronx, the BQE, and the road to more just transportation infrastructures.

Who built the Cross Bronx? In the history of an ambivalent icon, the answer is as complicated as the highway interchanges.

“The Cross Bronx is the catalyst for the Bronx history that drives my work as a documentarian of community. It’s this dichotomy of, ‘I wish this was never here,’ and ‘I would miss it if it went away.’”

A neighborhood advocate marshals data and organizes neighbors to make congested Midtown streets safe for pedestrians.

As redevelopment and electrification push them into the realm of history, unexpected social patterns still reveal themselves at the pumps.

Three recent books on how we circulate through the city show how transportation structures our daily lives, and our life trajectories.
