The issue of car dependence is a paradoxical one.
The majority of people see the car as a real means of freedom to get from one place to the next.
Little by little, the car has taken up more and more of a position raising a number of new problems, such as town and country planning, pollution, lifestyles, urban planning, ‘car pooling’, etc.
This book reviews the reasons for this dependence to prompt looking at solution and not the symptoms but the real causes of this current situation.
