Using quantitative research, this volume investigates the
characteristics, problems and trends of the automobile society in
China's mega cities and large cities. It also addresses topics
related to cars and cities, traffic safety and cars' consumption.
China has experienced more than 30 years of rapid economic
development, and people's living conditions have greatly improved.
One of the symbols of this is family-car ownership, which has
increased year by year. China is rapidly becoming an automobile
society like North America. But China has huge population and
limited urban space, and most of the cities are deteriorating
environmentally. Added to this are the low degree energy
self-sufficiency and people's lack of awareness of traffic rules,
all of which have brought various social problems, such as traffic
congestion, lack of parking spaces, air pollution, energy shortage
and frequent accidents. The volume presents a series of studies
examining the characteristics and problems of China's automobile
society development from the perspective of sustainable
development. The reports in the volume are both academic and highly
readable, making it an interesting resource for researchers and
general readers alike. It offers insights into the trends and
problems of private cars in China, as well as observations on
China's social change through the unique medium of cars.
