Highway removal can revitalize urban areas by reclaiming space for community-centered development, stimulating economic growth and reconnecting neighborhoods previously divided by freeways.
Highways are a poor economic investment, occupying nearly 25% of U.S. urban land yet their supposed benefits don't justify these enormous costs.
Highway removal presents a rare opportunity to right historical harms of displacement and reimagine a better urban future, but policy inertia stands in the way.
Despite the need for innovative solutions to meet climate goals, federal policymakers have not embraced highway removal, instead focusing on maintaining existing infrastructure.
