7:32 -- "Softening perceptions of density" is an underappreciated key point here. Most dwellers of North American car-centric suburbia view dense urban areas and public transportation as dangerous, dirty, overcrowded, polluted, and crime-ridden, rife with dilapidated buildings and failing schools. (With no small amount of racism towards inner-city inhabitants in the mix.) To an extent, it doesn't matter how many new trains and BRT systems go in, as long as people want to stick to their cars and single-family-home-only neighborhoods for the sake of perceived comfort and security.
I think that th actual problem here arises from two main very important facts. First of all , people PRODUCE products and items that DO NOT ACTUALLY NEED. Secondly is the transportation factor is being mentioned as the main theme here. And since there is no solution in the frame of free market for the first we should focus on the second part , which is the logistics factor. And what do I mean by it, is that the logistics concept itself plays a major role in the allocation both of facilities and population in space. Instead of talking about agglomerated economies (and I'm actually talking about forming mega cities ) we should mainly focus on exploiting both the huge space area of earth in combination with the progress is being achieved in the area of technology AND culture. What I mean by that is that we should mainly concentrate on the nature of the human both in the behavioural part but also and in the psychological part in order to have an ideal outcome. Thus ,big percentage of urban sprawl would be optimal for many reasons.
Very informative
Thank You. Robert Cervero is one of transport experts in the world.
