>>1499616I’d say that urban planners created car-dependency by focusin on automobiles for most of the 20th century, and now we have a few who are making some smal steps to level the playing field. But in general most American planners are still favoring cars over everything else.
Fortunately the planning profession’s realized their folly lately.
The APA recently had a journal devoted entirely to why single-family zoning (the creation of urban planners) was a stupid idea. We need less planning/zoning because planners create car-dependency.
