A motor manufacturer, a surgeon, an architect and a town-planner discuss the problems posed by the demands of the motor vehicle. We study the way British cities have been reshaped to accommodate it, in Birmingham and Stevenage, and examine American and Swedish solutions in Los Angeles and Stockholm.
