Abstract We have been tracking automobile dependence in metropolitan areas since the late 1970s, beginning with data collection back to 1960. This places us in the unique position to provide a 45-year perspective on the development of automobile dependence, from 1960 to 2005. Chapter 1 provides this historical perspective for 26 cities using a set of more limited data that were consistently available back through all decades from 1960 to 2000. The present chapter focuses on a detailed examination of a much more comprehensive set of data variables for a sample of 44 cities in order to demonstrate clearly what has been happening in land use and transportation over the decade between 1995–96 and 2005–06, when car use peaked in many industrialized nations.
