This book offers new guidance for urban and transportation planners
and urban policy makers on how to accelerate development of cities
away from automobile dependence. In The End of Automobile
Dependence, Newman and Kenworthy look at how we can accelerate a
planning approach to designing urban environments that can function
reliably and conveniently on alternative modes, with a refined and
more civilized automobile playing a very much reduced and
manageable role in urban transportation. The authors examine the
rise and fall of automobile dependence using updated data on 44
global cities to better understand how to facilitate and guide
cities to the most productive and sustainable outcomes. This is the
final volume in a trilogy by Newman and Kenworthy on automobile
dependence (Cities and Automobile Dependence in 1989 and
Sustainability and Cities: Overcoming Automobile Dependence in
1999). Like all good trilogies, this one shows the rise of an
empire, in this case that of the automobile, the peak of its power,
and the decline of that empire.
