Slow Networks versus Car Dependence? Concept and Implications for Urban Areas
Genre-Grandpierre, Cyrille
Slow Networks versus Car Dependence? Concept and Implications for Urban Areas - 2007.
87
The car accessibility induced by road networks tends to make long routes more efficient, encouraging urban sprawl and car dependence. After explaining this relationship, this paper describes the 'slow network' concept, whose metric intrinsically favours short routes. It then discusses the use of slow networks as a policy lever to combat urban sprawl and car dependence. Lastly, it describes the measures required to support the transition from the current system of urban operation and the new system based on the physical proximity of life spaces resulting from the application of slow networks.
