Abstract

This chapter focuses on the interaction between mobility policies and spatial planning practice, and aims to contribute to a better understanding on this complex relationship. Our focus is on daily travel patterns of people (leaving freight out of the picture). We discuss the importance of spatial proximity related to the oil dependence of an urban system. We find that the debate regarding the promotion of compact development is far from finished, but that our reasoning leads to the conclusion that a further increase of residential density and land use mix in urban areas is perhaps the best guarantee for curbing excessive mobility and preparing for the end of cheap oil.

Although the correlation varies with the speed: in steady-flow traffic at medium speed, an average car operates in the most efficient mode. At high speeds, but also in stop-and-go traffic, fuel consumption and emissions per kilometre go up quickly (Deakin 2007).
