The article discusses how urban design affects how people travel, aiming to find ways to reduce reliance on driving alone. Researchers suggest conducting coordinated projects to understand the relationships between urban form and travel behavior. They emphasize the importance of studying physical aspects of urban design, public policies for implementing new urban forms, and market factors influencing their development. The goal is to develop effective policies that encourage alternative modes of transportation and shorter trips. Funding from public and private sources is needed to support these research projects.
