National, And State, Auto-highways And Their Concourse Of Industries And Institutions

'National, And State, Auto-highways And Their Concourse Of Industries And Institutions: Out Of The City Into The Country And The Ways And Means To Do It' explores the early 20th-century vision of interconnected national and state highway systems and their transformative potential.
