Homeownership in urban areas has declined in recent years, particularly in high-cost cities such as New York and San Francisco. However, car ownership rates have remained steady, despite the rise of ride-hailing and other mobility services. As major metropolitan areas become more saturated, residents will need alternative transportation options to navigate increasingly congested urban environments.
Cities shape mobility patterns through spatial configuration, designated infrastructure, accessibility, and safety measures. While most cities are currently built for car travel, the saturation of metro areas and changing attitudes toward car ownership suggest that this may no longer be sustainable. As a result, more cities are exploring other modes of transportation (e.g., cycling and public transit) and prioritizing pedestrian-friendly spaces.
