SUSTAINABLE INNER ZONES: The urban fabric of diversity and alternatives – one car is enough
- the Inner City (the Walking City)
- the suburbs with good public transport (the Transit City and
parts of the Car City) CAR DEPENDENT ZONE: The urban fabric of only one option - Car dependent parts of the Car City – two or more cars
