摘要: Walking being the oldest form of urban transport, and until advent major transformations in transport technology nineteenth century, most cities were structured ways that supported walkability. Today, there is a change transportation which emphasizes, traditional pedestrian paths are increasingly becoming non-regulated spaces when compared to for automobile modes. This emphasis noticeable partly because walkability has rarely been planned past few decades ultimately may replace our dependency. It brought enormous changes landscape recent times particularly developed world. Automobile dependency comes different ways, forms degrees. For instance, worldwide absolutely dependent (where driving only transport). Even areas appear be highly often have noteworthy amount walking, cycling transit travel among certain groups or areas, although use these modes tends undercounted by conventional planning. Contemporarily, reducing car discussed broadly scientific community professionals built environment course general public. With increasing vehicular streets worldwide, it raises swirl questions, how did we get this point alternatives more desirable? In answering question, paper identified extensively thirteen distinct trends responsible dependencies
