    As the other people mentioned. In North America, the percentage of urban populations is 85%, Latin America 81%, Europe 75%

    Yes, rural areas are probably in need of private vehicles, but not everyone out of those 85-75% of people need a car. We’ve become too reliant on them.

      Those stats are a bit misleading. For example, I live in a “urban” environnement, aka a town, but the closest anything is still 15km away.

          What we do have at a walking/biking distance is a bakery, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an antique store, two art galleries.

          Anything else such as food, school, work, train station, doctor, veterinary, you name it, is 15k away.
