Cities

The word “compact” does not necessarily mean concentration at a

single point but rather efficient aggregation over multiple hubs.
 “The automobile is indeed a comfortable and
convenient mode of transportation, but over-
AUTOMOBILE reliance on automobiles detracts from other
INDEPENDENT modes of transportation leads to the building of a
CITY DEVELOPMENT society that is unfriendly toward transportation-
disadvantaged residents who do not own an
automobile.”
