Car dependency is a phenomenon in urban planning wherein existing and planned infrastructure prioritizes the use of automobiles over other modes of transportation, such as public transport, bicycles, and walking. Car dependency has been attributed with leading to a more polluting transport system compared to systems where all transportation modes are treated more equally.[1]
Car infrastructure is often paid for by governments from general taxes rather than gasoline taxes or mandated by governments.[2] For instance, many cities have minimum parking requirements for new housing, which in practice requires developers to "subsidize" drivers.[3] In some places, bicycles and rickshaws are banned from using road space. The road lobby plays an important role in maintaining car dependency, arguing that car infrastructure is good for economic growth.[1]
