Does Land Use create the need for Transporta.on?
The seasonal migration of nomadic omnivores gave way to permanent agricultural settlements that, in turn, gave way to the first cities.
Transportation is a result of the need to utilize land use.
In contemporary times, fueled by the popularity of the automobile, personal mobility has become an expression of freedom.
However, time spent on commutes and waiting in traffic as well as the environmental consequences of the internal combustion engine have made the desire for personal mobility and surface transportation in general a significant detriment to our quality of life.
