Is regional accessibility undermining local accessibility?

Abstract: The need to improve the sustainability of daily mobility in urban areas has been high on the political agenda worldwide. One major concern has been that of the growing car dependency. The growing distance between the activities human carry out has naturally been at the root of such phenomena. Efficient transport systems and high travel speeds have enabled access to ever distant opportunities. On the flip side, such conditions have reduced the need for proximity, which in turn has led to a distancing between human activities and to greater car dependency.
