Scenarios about 'car dependency'
The societal and urban development pattern characterized by heavy reliance on automobiles as the primary mode of transportation. Car dependency emerged primarily in the mid-20th century through policies prioritizing highway construction, suburban expansion, and reduced investment in public transit, resulting in built environments where daily activities require automobile travel.
