When manually driven cars become a rare exception expect these layouts to change again. Instead of vast parking lots somewhat integrated with the destination, cars in surplus to immediate requirements drive themselves to "inconvenient" staging lots or back to their corporate homes. Developments become more dense again.
- Swenrekcah 7y agoThat's probably true, but in the intervening 75 years, cities would do well to build up their public transport.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThe only thing that will cause cities to build up public transport is if people start living in more dense quarters. And the only thing that will make people start living in more dense quarters is if the cost of moving people and all the mass associated with their lives increases drastically. Therefore, the only solution is to cause the price of fuel to rise dramatically, or wait for the consequences of fuel use to raise the cost for us. And then once people are living in smaller homes in higher density environments, a city government will be able to propose public transportation that is actually feasible.
- Swenrekcah 7y agoI agree. Also cities and municipalities should charge for road usage.
