Abstract
This book explains a contradiction: the increases in travel speed occurring since the beginning of the 20th Century have failed to save time for urban citizens. This contradiction has been previously identified, in essays by Ivan Illich (1974) and André Gorz (1973). Slow Cities is the first book-length development of the topic. It updates the discussion and frames it alongside a discussion of the negative impacts of fast speed on aspects other than time (e.g., economy, society, environment).
