Urban development schemes which do not rely on the automobile Our traditional modelWe used to live close to work
We used to walk to workWe had a close relationship withour neighbours
Nowadays most couples, hold two jobs, live 20 Km away, and need the car for most basic needs.Is that our target ? Can we balance jobs and housing ?
