The chapter is not about specific modes of transportation, but about the social/managerial and ″entrepreneurial″ context for transportation over the past 75 years (his argument relies on Harvey′s ideas on the entrepreneurial city).

The chapter starts with a nod to ″complete streets″, which is the new fad in urban planning. As a side note, Buttigieg is now Secretary of Transportation because of his work on Complete Streets in Sound Bend, IN.
