	Chapter 6: Transport and the Making of Cities, 1850-1970 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Transport was crucial to this process of urbanisation, and indeed transport linkages largely determined the patterns of urban growth.
		Transport technology was changing rapidly in the late nineteenth century, more rapidly than at any time in human history before or since, and nowhere was this more evident than in the crucial and decisive innovation which suddenly would make the very large city possible - the humble tram.
		Its transport mix was reflected in the almost equal numbers using its trams and trains: in 1907, for instance, both modes carried about 62 million passengers.
