cars produce pollution every time we use it. Driving a car is more polluting than the action performed by the average citizen. There are two main points of inefficiency, the first is the fact that a small car carrying a person moves 7-8 pounds of steel to move 60-100 kg. the driver and the second is the fact that no more than 35% of the energy produced by the engine changes in motion, the rest is dissipated, that is lost as heat.
The problem is that our cities were built according to the automobile, residential areas, industrial and office complexes, recreational areas, and are only accessible only by car. The paradox is that in the '70s, at the time of the first energy crisis, the Italian cities were still densely populated areas and serve only the big business was located on the outskirts of the city. Although Italy depart from the ideal conditions for the success of public transport is opted, with organic and non-random choices for the expansion of cities and the creation of specialized areas and distant, connected by road networks hierarchical size and amount of traffic projected. Urban development in our country was not random and, at least in the north, was not even affected dall'abusivismo. E 'was chosen by politicians, academics and planners, a pattern already old at the time, and the realization of this model has been pursued with tenacity and determination. Today
has not yet established a town planning can reverse this pattern. Today the city is a slave of the car individually. Only a long-term project, able to reshape the city and ways to cross, if pursued with even greater pervicacia e ostinazione del modello precedente, potrà vedere la progressiva uscita di scena dell’auto individuale. Ci vorrà tempo ma è una scelta obbligata.
