The Road to Inequality shows how policies that shape geographic space change our politics, focusing on the effects of the largest public works project in American history: the federal highway system. For decades, federally subsidized highways have selectively facilitated migration into fastgrowing suburbs, producing an increasingly nonurban Republican electorate. This book examines the highway programs' policy origins at the national level and traces how these intersected with local politics and interests to facilitate complex, mutuallyreinforcing processes that have shaped America's growing urbansuburban divide and, with it, the politics of metropolitan public investment. As Americans have become more polarized on urbansuburban lines, attitudes towards transportation policy a once quintessentially 'local' and nonpartisan policy area are now themselves driven by partisanship, endangering investments in metropolitan programs that provide access to opportunity for millions of Americans.
