RCC alumnus Massimo Moraglio has co-edited a volume, with Christopher Kopper, entitled The Organization of Transport: A History of Users, Industry, and Public Policy. This edited volume examines how users, policymakers, and industrial managers have organized and continue to organize mobility, with a particularly attention to Europe, North America, and Asia. Taking a long-term and comparative perspective, the volume brings together thirteen chapters from the fields of urban studies, history, cultural studies, and geography. It includes a contributions by current visiting scholar Peter Cox on "Towards a Better Understanding of Bicycles as Transport" and by alumnus Gijs Mom on "Clashes of Cultures: Road vs. Rail in the North-Atlantic World during the Inter-War Coordination Crisis," as well as an introduction and two chapters by Moraglio—"Dwelling In Between? Multi-Location between History and New Socio-Technical Systems" and "Shifting Transport Regimes: The Strange Case of Light Rail Revival."
