Development of mobility

Development of mobility

• Over 100 years mobility has increased from about
  1 km/day/cap to about 50 km/day/cap. We spend on
  the average 80 min/day to transport ourselves.
  Both forced and free mobility increase.
• An increasing share of our money, energy and
  space is used for mobility. Transport is also
  record high.
• Mobility is not smart. An increasing part of
  mobility is using cars and trucks, but all forms
  of mobility is increasing.
• Modern society pretends that space does not
  exist!

message of equality. It shows respect for human
dignity. Moreover, it is war in the developing
world.

• With the same money that the city would be using
  to pay the ANNUAL interest for a loan to build a
  metro line, Bogota built a 300 km bike network
