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.

Ranking: The 10 largest cities in the world without metro systems

Public mass transit systems are part of the everyday landscape of most major cities around the world. From the ultra-efficient train network of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area to the congested rail lines of Sao Paulo, metro systems move millions of people daily, making inter-city mobility more efficient and reducing travel times within cities and metropolitan regions. Sao Paulo Metro. Source: US News Since the opening of the first underground network in London in 1863, more than 200 metro systems have been built around the world. Beijing currently has the largest metro network in terms of length and daily ridership (807 km in length and 10.5 million trips per day). Other major metro systems are located in New York, Shanghai, Seoul, Moscow and Guangzhou.

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. This city, officially named Ciudad de la Paz (Spanish for "City of Peace" and formerly Oyala), is located in the district of Djibloho, in the central part of the country's mainland. Its construction is intended to serve as Equatorial Guinea's seat of government, replacing Malabo, on Bioko Island, as the national capital. Despite being one of the largest projects in West Africa, information on the city's current development is rather limited. Although the official move to the new capital was planned for 2017, Malabo continues to host government buildings, as well as embassies and headquarters of international organizations. Here, a look at the history, design and controversies surrounding the new capital city of Equatorial Guinea. The boom of petrodollars With around 28,000 square kilometres, Equatorial Guin

Hyper-densifying American cities: A mapping experiment

American cities have largely followed a model of highly expansive and low-density urban development. With the rise of the automotive industry and investments in the road and highway network, suburban housing became the archetype of the American way of life, with homes amidst vast green areas, located increasingly farther from the foundational urban centers and business and service cores. Aerial View of Los Angeles. Source:  Cory Doctorow As a result of this process, the metropolitan areas of the United States have a population density (inhabitants/square kilometer) lower than cities of comparable sizes in other continents around the world. The following graphic compares the five largest metropolitan areas in Europe and the United States. Own elaboration. Data source:  Demographia World Urban Areas Report The difference is even more drastic when compared to the largest metropolises in Asia. As seen in the next figure, the most comparable Asian metropolitan area to the American cases is
