Work Commute by Car vs. Urban Density in the US




According to reports published by The Trasnport Politic and Governing.com, there is an inverse relationship between the percentage of daily car trips and the urban density of major cities in the United States.


The graph shows that the American city with the least use of cars for daily trips is New York. In this metropolis, before the COVID-19 pandemic, only 22% of trips were made by private car. At the same time, this is the city with the highest reported urban density.


In the opposite case there are cities like San Antonio, Houston, Charlotte and Phoenix. In these urban areas, with densities below 5,000 people per square mile, the percentage of daily trips to work by car was over 70% before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ciudad de la Paz: the new Capital of Equatorial Guinea rises in the tropical forest

  120 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, in the middle of the humid rainforest, the construction site of new Capital of Equatorial Guinea is making progress.

In contrast to suburban sprawl, different concepts have emerged in recent years that favour a more compact, efficient and less auto-dependent urban model. This is the case of the “15-minute city”, which according with Patrick Sisson from The City Monitor , “the 15-minute city is an approach to urban design that aims to improve quality of life by creating cities where everything a resident needs can be reach
