European community for mobility management

Car use peaking all over the world according to Kenworthy & Newman. Still keen on those bypasses? In US and Australia urban sprawl is decresing, while density in Europe still decrease.

Why do we have to do the same mistakes

I guess it's extremely difficult to compare Australian cities with European ones. Finally car use tends to decrease in the country with the longest trip length in the world.

For the Netherlands, one of the 'problems' is that in fact our country is one large network city. If one is looking for a job and a travel time of 1 hour, he/she could reach 6 or 7 cities or something like that. Great for job opportunities of course, but not for travel. Moving to a new city often is not likely as the partner does the same; jobs or companies also tend to move etc.

However, the demotorization trend might be very interesting: the status of car ownership is decreasing amongst urban youngsters in Japan, USA and Germany. Check the link for more information.
