N2  - Cities will continue to accommodate the automobile, but when cities are built around them, the quality of human and natural life declines.

We are experiencing the phenomenon of peak car use in many global cities at the same time that urban rail is thriving, central cities are revitalizing, and suburban sprawl is reversing.
