[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity I looked up the percentage of car ownership in various cities. NYC has fewer cars per household than Paris, Amsterdam and London. Boston, London, Atlanta and San Francisco are roughly the same. Berlin has the lowest rate for large cities in Europe. And good luck not having a car anywhere rural in Europe! [/quote]

I suppose that makes sense given NYC’s population density. Car ownership probably depends a lot on the degree of urbanisation, which accounts for about 75% of Europe’s population as a whole but is obviously variable across countries. [/quote]

Part of why that urbanisation percentage is so high is that small villages can be grouped as being in urban clusters of larger cities if they are within a certain density metric of that city. So if you are in a tiny village 10, 20, even 50 kms away from a larger 50k people town, you could still be considered as living in an urban zone depending on specific contiguous density. You could however still need a car for anything but bread or a newspaper.[/quote]
