Planning 
the 
Mobile 
Metropolis
second 
half 
of 
the 
century 
is 
marked 
by 
a 
growth 
in 
the 
share 
of 
the 
car, 
at 
the 
expense 
of 
all 
the 
others, 
with 
the 
exception 
of 
the 
train. 
Together, 
the 
two 
gures 
document 
a 
momentous, 
and 
inter-
related, 
change 
in 
transport 
technology, 
activity 
patterns 
and 
travel 
behaviour. 
Most 
notable 
are 
the 
fourfold 
growth 
of 
home 
to 
work 
distance 
and 
the 
dramatic 
increase 
in 
travel 
speed 
enabled 
by 
the 
car. 
Chapter 
2 
will 
further 
dwell 
on 
these 
processes 
and 
their 
driving 
forces.
Mobile 
metropolises
The 
momentous 
growth 
in 
the 
mobility 
of 
persons 
and 
goods 
since 
the 
Industrial 
Revolution 
has 
been 
matched 
by 
an 
equally 
radical 
transformation 
in 
the 
size 
and 
form 
of 
cities. 
Cities 
have 
grown 
in 
size 
and 
perhaps 
even 
more 
signicantly 
in 
form. 
Before 
the 
Industrial 
Revolution
