Book cover featuring a minimalist blue design with a monochrome image of an airplane flying over a mountain landscape at the top. Below the image, the author's name, Kris De Decker, is written in small white text. The title, "HOW TO DOWNSIZE A TRANSPORT NETWORK?" is displayed in large, bold, white capital letters, with "TRANSPORT" split across two lines.

Another collection of articles from Low Tech Magazine, this time about ways to more efficiently transport people and cargo.

The articles:

  • How to Downsize a Transport the Chinese Wheelbarrow
  • The Citroën 2 Cleantech from the 1940s
  • The Status Quo of Electric Better Batteries, Same Range
  • Electric as Fast and Comfortable as Automobiles, but 80 times more Efficient
  • Get Wired Trolleybuses and Trolleytrucks
  • High Speed Trains are Killing the European Railway Network
  • Life Without from London to New York in 3 Days and 12 Hours
  • How to Design a Sailing Ship for the 21st Century?

I liked most of these articles, and though some are a bit too pedantic on “consumerism is bad”, I learned new things from each of them.
