Reading The Economist on the decline of car usage by young people.

As an economic, and social imperative we need to design the urban environment to enable car-free living.

“The city of Jacksonville, Florida, for instance, spreads across 875 square miles. With around 1m residents, that makes it only about twice as densely populated as the whole of England, only around 8% of which is classified as “urban”.”

It seems that “car-free” behaviour can persist, which gives me hope for change.
