Abstract

AN ANALYTICAL DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED ON THE EFFECT OF THE AUTOMOBILE ON DECENTRALIZATION OF THE CITY AND ON SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT. THE ATTENDANT PROBLEMS DERIVED FROM THE CHANGE TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERN ARE ANALYZED. THE FOLLOWING OUTSTANDING NEEDS APPEAR IN HIGHWAY PLANNING: (1) CIRCUMFERENTIAL OR BELT EXPRESS HIGHWAYS ENCIRCLING THE CENTRAL CITY, (2) MORE RADIAL EXPRESSWAYS ON WHICH EXPRESS BUSSES COULD OPERATE TO FURNISH FAST MASS TRANSPORTATION, (3) MORE CENTRAL PARKING GARAGES, (4) REDEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL BLIGHTED AREAS, AND (5) A NATIONAL SYSTEM OF EXPRESS HIGHWAYS.
