ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores the car dependence as the situation in which a journey can be impossible or difficult if made by a transport mode other than the car. The car can best bridge the distance, and becomes the great connector between activities. The car made this spreading out of activities possible and is the best qualified to connect different locations. Many companies grow, are in need of space. In many municipalities this space can be found by restructuring existing industrial areas. This however is a difficult activity, due to the situation that many owners of industrial buildings, warehouses and industrial used land, change rather frequent and are active at great distances from the municipalities. In our modern societies people want to have active lives; they want to work, to care for their children, help friends and family with health problems, and enjoy leisure activities.
