O mundo pós-carro
O ápice da indústria automobilística já passou e estamos indo rumo a uma nova era no deslocamento de pessoas nas cidades. É o que diz o site Overview, num especial sobre o tema:
Automobiles make up 70% of the emissions from all forms of transportation. There are an estimated 1 billion cars on the planet, with around 80 million new cars sold each year. Despite continually strong sales, experts suggest we have reached ‘Peak Car’ – meaning the average distance traveled per person in cars has peaked, and will continue to fall over time. There are many different factors contributing to this trend, such as a global shift towards urban living, new forms of mobility, new government policies for reducing traffic, and a slowing expansion of road networks.
