Problem 10 12 Increase in travel also means increase in energy consumption The International Energy Agency (IEA) has projected that the transport sector will be the primary user of energy by the year 2020. That same year, the world energy consumption will have grown by 66%, due in great part to the developing countries. The world consumption of energy is largely based on fossil sources. In the case of transport, petroleum accounts for more than 95% of its energy needs. As a result of motorization, the demand for oil cannot be sustained and the energy cost for developing countries can become a real burden when oil is bought with foreign currencies.

Car infrastructure uses urban space inefficiently Brasilia was built to accommodate cars, with a lot of space for roads and parking Each mode of transport uses space for moving and parking over a given period of time. However, a private car is the largest consumer of space as it spends 90% (or 22 hours per day) of its life stationary (i.e. parked). Subsequently, enormous quantities of valuable urban space are used uneconomically only for parking at home, at the office, in commercial areas. In addition, road infrastructure needed to accommodate travel demands also consumes much space, sometimes disrupting communities and marginalising entire neighbourhoods. Economic value is lost and some living areas are marginalised by car-based infrastructure Problem 11 13
